Children and the Law : Doctrine, Policy, and Practice

Professors Abrams and Ramsey have done an extensive revision that includes new cases, materials and problems, but not so many as to require substantial new preparation. The shorter, revised book continues the interdisciplinary emphasis and comprehensive coverage of representation of children, child abuse and neglect, foster care, and delinquency. Additional chapters on children?s rights and legal obligations, adoption, regulatory legislation, and medical decision-making provide a broad view of children?s issues and permit flexible coverage. An updated teacher?s manual will also be provided.
