Description

California Family Law: A Practice Focused Casebook 3rd Edition John E.B. Myers ISBN 9798895452257

Family law is inherently complex, and its application can vary significantly from state to state. For students planning to practice in California, this casebook offers a unique, California-focused approach to the study of family law. The text provides a thorough introduction to the day-to-day practice of California family law attorneys, with consistent references to the California Family Code and cases drawn primarily from California courts.

The third edition covers all core topics found in most family law casebooks, including premarital agreements, agreements between unmarried cohabitants, marriage and divorce, annulment, child and spousal support, child custody, community property, property division, adoption, and alternative reproductive technology. It also addresses key jurisdictional frameworks, such as the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act and the Hague Convention on International Parental Child Abduction. Recognizing students’ strong interest in serving families, the book includes a dedicated chapter on juvenile court matters.

Designed with the California Bar Exam in mind, this edition prepares students for the expanded July 2026 exam, which will test not only community property but all aspects of family law. The book equips students with the knowledge and practical understanding needed to succeed in both the classroom and the bar exam.
