Modern Family Law Cases and Materials Weisberg 8th edition 9798889062875

The Eighth Edition of this popular Family Law casebook delves into the conflict between respect for privacy and deference to state authority, focusing on the role of the state in family decision-making. Each chapter equips students to tackle current and emerging family law issues.

Featuring compelling, well-edited cases, notes, interdisciplinary materials, and problems, this casebook highlights issues of gender, sexuality, race, and class.

It integrates legal developments with insights from history, psychology, sociology, medicine, and philosophy, uniquely reflecting the diversity of the modern family.

Key updates include marriage equality and parentage issues for LGBTQ-headed families, nonmarital families, abortion, adoption, and assisted reproduction.

New to the Eighth Edition:

  • Recent landmark developments in abortion law, including Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and updates on state efforts to restrict abortion access.
  • Conflict between nondiscrimination principles and the First Amendment, including 303 Creative v. Elenis.
  • Updates on recent or pending Supreme Court cases, such as Brackeen v. Haaland, Golan v. Saada, and Rahimi v. U.S.
  • Recent Uniform Acts, including the Uniform Cohabitants' Economic Remedies Act and the Uniform Unregulated Child Custody Transfer Act.
  • New federal laws, including the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (2022) and the Respect for Marriage Act.
  • State law reforms on marriages involving minors.
  • The impact of COVID-19 on family law.

Benefits for instructors and students:

  • A mix of “classics” and cutting-edge materials that illuminate family law’s past and its ongoing development in a time of exciting change.
  • Engaging materials, such as narratives, epilogues, personal communications, social science perspectives, and comparative information, that bring family law to life.
  • Thoughtfully organized content that clearly presents basic principles and doctrines while inviting policy-based reflections and questions about law reform.
  • Provocative questions and problems based on cases and current events designed to spark lively class discussions.
