ELDER LAW ESSENTIALS, by Donna S. Harkness, Prof. of Clinical Law

Description: ELDER LAW ESSENTIALS was written by Donna S. Harkness, professor at the University of Memphis, Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, and a leader in the area of elder law. The text thoroughly explores each area of the law as it impacts aging people, and each chapter ends with extensive endnotes containing a treasure of citations to statutes and case decisions. Numerous sample forms are supplied that the reader can copy and use or use as the basis for your own forms that adhere to your own state’s laws and your client’s needs. Elder Law Essentials is held in a very high quality three-ring binder with padded real or faux leather covers (I don’t know the difference). There are approximately 766 pages, 8.5” x 11,” and a CD-ROM (DVD?), of the forms found within the book, and possibly other material. It appears the CD or DVD requires Windows 2000 or newer to open. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Donna S. Harkness is a highly qualified author and expert in the area of elder law. She is Professor of Clinical Law at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law and is Director of the Elder Law Clinic. She has been a National Elder Law Foundation Certified Elder Law Attorney since 2000, and a Tennessee Certified Elder Law Specialist since 2001. Ms. Harkness is a frequent lecturer to various professional groups on elder law and ethical issues, and has published a number of articles on elder law issues. She is a member of the Tennessee, Memphis, and American Bar Associations, as well as a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. A law book this size and thoroughness would typically cost many hundreds, perhaps more than one-thousand, dollars. If you currently practice or intend to practice elderly law, this is a must book to have. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION TO ELDER LAW... 3. ETHICAL ISSUES 4. AGE DISCRIMINATION 5.
