Fourth Edition of “Elder Law: Cases and Materials” to be Released in July 2007

The following is from an e-mail from LexisNexis:

LexisNexis is pleased to announce the forthcoming availability of the Fourth Edition of Elder Law: Cases and Materials, by Lawrence A. Frolik (Pittsburgh) and Alison McChrystal Barnes (Marquette). You will automatically receive a copy of the new edition of Elder Law: Cases and Materials (ISBN 142241163X) and the updated companion documentary supplement (ISBN 1422411648) in late July.

The Fourth Edition of Elder Law integrates new developments in law and policy into the familiar framework of past editions. A mix of the specific and the general, the book examines the response of our society to an aging population, the legal rights of the elderly, and the legal, economic, and health challenges of the elderly. The authors use carefully edited classic and new cases, excerpts from the experts, and descriptive commentary to challenge and instruct students. Questions and problems provide the instructor an opportunity to query students and expand their understanding of the material.

The perspectives of legal practice and legislative development receive due attention in chapters that cover income and employment, housing and supportive services, nursing home quality and costs, substitute health and final decision making, and elders and crime. The broad scope of the book builds on foundational legal education in property rights, civil and human rights, and government action, while permitting the teacher the opportunity to supplement or expand upon the material.

The Teacher’s Manual provides the authors’ pedagogical insights and answers to the Questions. In addition, the companion statutory volume, Elder Law: Selected Statutes and Regulations, includes all relevant statutes and regulations.
