When dealing with law school casebooks, it is rare that you see one endure to the level of a fifth edition, is not surprising, however, that Clark and Glowinsky, Domestic Relations, Fifth Edition, has achieved that status. There are many reasons why this particular book has remained so popular, but first and foremost is the experience and balance of the authors. The new edition includes cases on antenuptial contracts, on property division, United States Supreme Court cases on child abuse, and the omnipresent cases on child custody jurisdiction. The size of the edition has been controlled by including much material in notes rather than including it in extensive judicial opinions. It is therefore full of interesting questions that make for stimulating classroom discussion.
