LexisNexis will publish the 25th edition of the Family Court Practice 2017 (the Red Book) at the end of this month. Since the Red Book first arrived on family practitioners’ desks in 1993, the legal landscape has undergone huge change, and the Red Book has almost doubled in size. It was conceived as an essential, comprehensive and definitive work covering, in a single volume, the entire range of family proceedings at every level of court. The Red Book is now accompanied by an Autumn Supplement and an online service. It is widely regarded as the seminal work for all who practise in the Family Court, and has been described by Sir James Munby, President of the Family Division’ as ‘indispensable’.
