The Texas Pattern Jury Charges—Family is written by a committee of volunteer attorneys and judges with expertise in family law cases. A new edition of Texas Pattern Jury Charges—Family is scheduled for release in the spring of 2010. But we’d like to give Texas practitioners a chance to preview changes to the commentary on an important area of the law: preservation of error.
The committee strives for objective, well-drafted charges and commentary that accurately reflect Texas law. Your comments on this draft will help the committee achieve that goal. Use the comments section below to give us your feedback.
The 2008 Edition of Texas Pattern Jury Charges—Family is still available. Purchase your copy today.
This week Casemaker announced CaseCheck+, a powerful new service that goes beyond the features of its current CaseCheck service. CaseCheck lets you know whenever your case has been referenced by another case, but CaseCheck+ gives you the precise manner in which a particular case affects the case you are reading. You can get a free 14-day trial of the service by clicking here.
Texas attorneys still have access to free legal research through Casemaker. This service, supported exclusively by TexasBarCLE and TexasBarBooks, gives you access to the laws of all fifty states, including Texas, plus to federal case law and statutes, all at no charge. And anytime you use the electronic version of a TexasBarBooks publication, like any of the Texas Pattern Jury Charges volumes, you’ll find links to the cases and statutes cited in the text. To give it a try, download this free excerpt from Texas Criminal Pattern Jury Charges—Intoxication and Controlled Substances.
