Revised with teachers and learners in mind, the Third Edition of Elder Law: Practice, Policy, and Problemscomprehensively updates this market-leading casebook. It combines a client-focused approach with in-depth discussions of elder law related policy issues. Designed to be both practical and theoretical, it provides students with specific legal knowledge and a conceptual framework for understanding key issues confronting older adults and the attorneys who represent them.

The author’s narrative frames a series of primary materials including cases, statutes, regulations, and sample documents, as well as excerpts from articles designed to stimulate student thinking and discussion.

Problems and exercises are numerous. Many relate to client counseling and ask students to imagine themselves in the role of the elder law attorney, and to describe how they would handle various scenarios, such as a client meeting. In addition, questions in each section prompt students to critique key policies, or consider policy changes, and thereby allow students to test their understanding of policies and more deeply think through their consequences.

Key Features of the Third Edition:

The new edition maintains the book’s status as the most up-to-date and cutting-edge elder law casebook with the following key features:

  • Updates to statutory and regulatory materials
  • New demographic and economic information

  • Lessons learned (and legal changes resulting from) the COVID-19 pandemic

  • Coverage of additional topics including, intergenerational justice, ageism and elderspeak, and family formation in later life
  • Adds a handful of new cases to reflect legal developments and enhance the teaching experience while also moving several longer cases to notes
