Reviews
Many child law books do not cover Northern Ireland law in detail and therefore this book fills a very useful space for practitioners who work in this area or who need to refer cases to this jurisdiction. The book is a useful reference work for the bookshelf, and provides information for trainees and for resource materials.

The book is comprehensive in the identification of major legal areas required for every day practice and study. The style of writing and format of the text ensure complex legal concepts are accessible to readers at all levels while providing additional references, case law and further reading…I would highly recommend this book.
