Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1540
Book Description
Principally authored by the late James A. Henderson, Jr., and now led by Douglas A. Kysar of Yale Law School, The Torts Processhas for fifty years now has given law students a clear, engaging, and sophisticated treatment of the law of torts. The Torts Processuses a student-friendly, procedurally-focused approach that relies on proven problem-and-cases pedagogy to illuminate the overarching structure and organization of tort law. Its lively mix of problems, cases, notes, and questions stimulate thought and discussion, while providing a firm foundation in tort doctrine, history, and theory New to the Tenth Edition: Overhaul of section on economic loss rule, including new lead case, Southern California Gas Leak Cases, and references to Third Restatement (Torts): Liability for Economic Harm. A new section in Chapter 8 on Damages in Context, which includes the case B. B. v. County of Los Angeles, which exposes a divide among the justices regarding the degree to which tort law should be situated within a larger legal and social context, one that includes the urgent and troubling intersection of race, policing, and violence in America. A new section in Chapter 4 on Statutory Immunities, which provides information on statutes that provide immunity from tort liability to particular industries or activities. New discussion of sexual harassment claims under intentional infliction of emotional distress and federal antidiscrimination statutes. Significant revamping of Chapter 5’s treatment of public nuisance doctrine in light of increasingly prominent use in contexts such as the opioid epidemic and climate change. Three new lead cases in Chapter 7 reflecting developments in the law of products liability, as well as a new section exploring caselaw on Amazon.com’s treatment as a product seller. Additional new lead cases throughout the Tenth Edition offer compelling teaching opportunities on a variety of topics, including: Bassett v. Lamantia (public-duty doctrine) Warren v. Dinter (medical malpractice) Gomez v. Crookham Co. (worker’s compensation benefits and wrongful death) Rich v. Fox News Network, LLC (emotional distress) Gilmore v. Jones (defamation) Lunsford v. Sterilite of Ohio, L.L.C. (invasion of privacy) Professors and students will benefit from: Problem-and-cases pedagogical approach challenges students’ understanding through theoretical and real-life situations.

Contemporary Family Law
Author: Douglas Abrams
Publisher: West Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9781642428605
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This popular family law casebook engages students by presenting core family law doctrine while exploring significant transformations in American families and cutting-edge policy debates. It highlights the important role of constitutional law--and other areas of state and federal law--in shaping family law. The book invites students to consider questions of family definition and governmental regulation of families in light of family law's purposes. It charts family law's evolving approach to adult-adult and parent-child (and other caretaker-dependent) relationships, emphasizing that contemporary families take a variety of forms. The Sixth Edition updates all chapters to reflect the latest family law developments, such as the legal treatment of nonmarital families (including plural relationships) and nonbiological parenting as well as recent Supreme Court decisions. It integrates material previously covered in separate chapters on ethical issues in family law practice and jurisdiction into the contexts in which they arise, such as divorce, child custody, and division of marital property. The Sixth Edition has new material highlighting the intersection of family law with race, gender, class, immigration, sexual orientation, and gender identity. As with previous editions, the casebook contains ample problems for students to apply doctrine to realistic factual contexts and highlights practical dynamics of family law practice. The 6th edition: Thoroughly examines the impact of recent Supreme Court cases on family law, including Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (and provides teachers with shorter and longer versions of that case), and Golan v. Saada Includes attention to the role of race and racism in laws that shape and regulate the family, with case law addressing marriage, divorce, and inheritance rights of formerly enslaved persons and a post-Loving v. Virginia case challenging the continued requirement that couples disclose race on a marriage license Provides a restructured chapter on the legal consequences of marriage, spousal roles within marriage, and the gender revolution within family law and related fields Includes new developments on marriage requirements, including state minimum age laws and common-law marriage rules, and addresses First Amendment challenges, post-Masterpiece Cakeshop, to civil marriage equality and state antidiscrimination laws Includes new coverage of the intersection of immigration and family law Addresses changes in legal approaches to nonmarital families, including multi-adult domestic partnerships and the Uniform Cohabitants' Economic Remedies Act Provides updated treatment of custody and parenting time issues, including parenting gender-expansive children Provides a restructured chapter on intimate partner violence (IPV), including updates on various factors impacting IPV and shifting gun control statutes and caselaw affecting civil protection orders Provides new consideration of child support issues, including joint custody and subsequent families Provides revised problems in anticipation of the NextGen Bar Exam

Parenting Plan Evaluations
Author: Kathryn Kuehnle
Publisher: OUP USA
ISBN: 0199754020
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 630
Book Description
When conducting parenting plan evaluations, mental health professionals need to be aware of a myriad of different factors. More so than in any other form of forensic evaluation, they must have an understanding of the most current findings in developmental research, behavioral psychology, attachment theory, and legal issues to substantiate their opinions. With a number of publications on child custody available, there is an essential need for a text focused on translating the research associated with the most important topics within the family court. This book addresses this gap in the literature by presenting an organized and in-depth analysis of the current research and offering specific recommendations for applying these findings to the evaluation process. Written by experts in the child custody arena, chapters cover issues associated with the most important and complex issues that arise in family court, such as attachment and overnight timesharing with very young children, dynamics between divorced parents and children's potential for resiliency, co-parenting children with chronic medical conditions and developmental disorders, domestic violence during separation and divorce, gay and lesbian co-parents, and relocation, among others. The scientific information provided in these chapters assists forensic mental health professionals to proffer empirically-based opinions, conclusions and recommendations. Parenting Plan Evaluations is a must-read for legal practitioners, family law judges and attorneys, and other professionals seeking to understand more about the science behind child custody evaluations.
