The Legal Practice Course Guides provide a guide to the law, practice, and procedure that are at the heart of the Legal Practice Course. Each Guide explains the relevant substantive and procedural law, and where appropriate, contains sample precedents, documents, and checklists. The Guides form a bridge between the notes, exercises, and case studies produced by each institution and the 'raw material' found in practitioner texts. This Guide provides a concise and up to date account of the major aspects of family law which are likely to be encountered by the trainee solicitor in practice. The relevant law is discussed together with appropriate procedure and practice. It has been fully revised and updated to include all the latest developments in the law and provides information on public funding and family law under the Access to Justice Act 1999.
