Whether you are taking a course in family law or have an interest in this field, the law library has a number of sources ranging from treatises and practices to study aids:
- Practice Guides/Treatises:
- Texas Family Law Practice and Procedure. LexisNexis/Matthew Bender, 1997-2013 (KFT1294.F35) (Reserves) (available on Lexis Advance/Lexis.com).
- Beckman, Sydney Aaron & Wilhite, Randall B. O'Connor's Texas Family Law Handbook, 2014 (KFT1294.B43) (Reserves/Study Aids).
- Family Law: Uniform Laws Affecting the Family (selected and edited by Professor Thomas Oldham) 2012 ed. Thomson Reuters (KF504.F35 2012).
- Jenkins, Joan Foote & Wilhite, Randall B. O'Connor's Family Code Plus, 2013-2014 (KFT1294.A31B43) (Reserves).

- Gregory, John DeWitt. Understanding Family Law, 4th ed. LexisNexis, 2013 (KF505.G734 2013) (Study Aids).
- Krause, Harry D. Family Law in a Nutshell. Thomson Reuters, 2007 (KF505.Z9K7 2007) (Reserves/Study Aids).
In addition to Chris' recommendations I would like to suggest Ann Laquer Estin's International Family Law Desk Book (published in 2012 by American Bar Association Section of international Law), call no. K670.E845 2012 in our library. With one out of eight residents in the US is foreign born (2010 Census, http://www.census.gov/how/infographics/foreign_born.html), even family law can have an international element.
