Few areas of the law touch as many lives as does Family Law, which examines the legal regulation of one of the foundational institutions of our society.  The legal meaning of "family," however, has undergone a radical transformation over the past 20 years, and this course will analyze many of these exciting changes. 

Family Law is a three-hour course that considers marriage and divorce, spousal rights and obligations during and after marriage, and the parent-child relationship.  In addition to the Texas Family Code, we will look at the laws of other states (and nations), as well as federal constitutional law, criminal law, conflict of laws, contract and tort law, property and inheritance laws, and tax law.
