"Nutshells" are not just for slackers who blew off the semester and need to cram at the last minute. I've been consistently impressed with the quality of West's Nutshell series. They're excellent study aids for summary, clarification, and getting the key points and big picture. This one is written by two prominent scholars in the field, the senior of whom (Harry Krause at Illinois) is also the lead editor on one of the major casebooks (Krause, Elrod, Garrison, Oldham, Family Law: Cases, Comments, and Questions). Thus this little book is epecially valuable if your class is using that casebook. This nutshell provides an excellent tour through all the major areas and issues of family law. There's a nice balance among history, leading cases, and commentary on how the law is evolving. It's short, concise, and, as the authors are not afraid to be droll now and then, a breezy, interesting, and pleasant read.
