Description
California Family Law: A Practice Focused Casebook 2nd Edition John E.B. Myers ISBN 9781685613433
Family law is a highly complex field, with rules and practices that differ significantly from state to state. Because most students enrolled in family law courses at California law schools intend to practice in California, this casebook is distinctive in its sustained focus on California law. It offers a practical and thorough introduction to the everyday work of California family law attorneys, with consistent references to the California Family Code and a strong emphasis on decisions from California courts.
The book covers the full range of topics typically addressed in family law casebooks, but through a California-specific lens. Subjects include premarital agreements, agreements between unmarried cohabitants, marriage and divorce, annulment, child and spousal support, child custody, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, property division, adoption, and assisted reproductive technology. Reflecting the commitment many family law students have to serving children and families, the book also includes a dedicated chapter on juvenile court practice.
A substantial chapter on California community property law is designed to prepare students for community property questions on the California bar exam. At the same time, the casebook remains well suited for students taking family law in preparation for the Uniform Bar Exam, ensuring broad relevance both within California and beyond.

Rental returns: free at semester's end, prorated if early
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early, before that date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.

Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
