Description

Issues surrounding family law in Ontario can be complex, as a case may have components governed by federal jurisdiction, provincial jurisdiction, or both. Family Law: Practice and Procedure, 5th Edition provides a detailed foundation of family law in Ontario in two volumes.

Volume I comprehensively covers substantive law and procedure, with a special focus on the practical skills required by law clerks in a family law practice.

Legal professionals working in family law are expected to have a general knowledge of the law, practice, and procedures, and to carry out their tasks in accordance with the law firm?s procedures and the individual lawyer?s instructions. These two volumes will equip readers with the skills and knowledge they need to accomplish these tasks.
