The Ninth Edition of this popular and manageably sized casebook retains the general structure of the prior edition, with its emphasis on practical skills, comparative material, and diverse geographic coverage. This edition features transformative updates in the field, such as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org., the 2017 Uniform Parentage Act, systemic critiques of the child welfare system, the Uniform Cohabitants’ Economic Remedies Act, and the regulation of assisted reproductive technologies.\nThe goal of this edition is to meet the needs of students preparing for the evolving practice of family law. Problems reflect current, diverse, and pluralistic family formation grounded squarely in supporting students acquiring “bread and butter” lawyering skills. The text invites students to consider the various skills now needed by a family law attorney, the emotional landscape facing many clients, the differing roles lawyers can play, the cultural competencies needed for practice, and the diverse skills needed to practice family law. These revisions support the trajectory shift toward professional-identity-formation in legal education and NextGen Bar.

Family Law Simulations offers versatile, in-depth simulations for an experiential learning, drafting, or lawyering skills course, and can also supplement a traditional family law course. Contemporary fact patterns present students with “bread and butter” lawyering tasks on behalf of a diverse set of clients. Students will interview clients, draft pleadings, conduct discovery, argue motions, negotiate, and mediate. The book further develops a sustained knowledge of the governing ethical rules and explores the interdisciplinary nature of family law and its intersections with other legal specializations. 
Family Law Simulations is also a uniquely specialized text that focuses on developing cultural competency for lawyers, cultivating a strong professional identity, and honing communication skills with clients. Several fact patterns continue throughout the book to allow students to experience the arc of a family law case. Students represent clients in different states, applying actual family statutes, supplemented by practice guidance materials and independent research. This multifaceted text meets the varied and complex needs of modern family law classrooms.

Family Law Simulations: Bridge to Practice

Family Law

Legal education pedagogy is transforming rapidly. These simulations bring traditional torts casebooks alive in challenging and empowering ways; bring greater clarity and mastery to tort law concepts; and bridge the study of law into the dynamic practice of law. Using modern simulations representing clients in core "bread and butter" lawyering tasks, students apply their casebook rules to conduct discovery, advise clients, correspond with counsel, draft pleadings, calculate damages, and argue motions. Students move beyond the repetition of appellate cases, incorporating statutes and using secondary sources and practitioner tools to save valuable time and resources. While emphasizing substantive tort law mastery, the simulations further demonstrate how law practice seamlessly connects procedure, substance, and skills.
