Customer Reviews

IRRELEVANT FOR UNDERGRADUATES
Some okay substantive issues but case-law is old and the 'property' section does not cover everything. Adoption law covered in-depth but nothing detailed on judicial seperation or civil partnerships. Not very reliable for undergraduate level and more suited to lay persons than law students. Better off using a textbook unless you want to waste your money.(Jonathan Herring Family Law = very very good!)
