"Family Law" offers a guide to the essential law, practice, and procedure that is at the heart of the Legal Practice Course. It provides a concise account of the major aspects of family law which are likely to be encountered by the trainee solicitor in practice, as 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 legal field, offering material that is highly practical in nature. However, it is also pitched at the correct level for LPC candidates who have to develop a sound knowledge of the fundamentals of the law and procedure in a short period of time, therefore offering a bridge between the notes, exercises, and case studies produced by each institution and the 'raw material' found in practitioner texts.
