description: This book is designed for a law school course on children and the law. In a concise yet comprehensive manner, these expert authors provide an analytical framework for examining the full range of legal questions relevant to children. They efficiently cover this rapidly moving and unsettled field-focusing on the legal distribution of power and responsibility for children among the child, the family and the state, and how such power should be allocated. Mnooking and Weisburg address government benefits, child abuse and neglect, medical treatment of children, custody law, state-enforced limitations on the liberty of minors, and juvenile delinquency.
