Review of Cristina Codruta HAGEANU – “Dreptul familiei” ( "Family law") , Publishing House: Hamangiu, Bucharest, Romania, 2023, pp.499

Abstract

In November 2023, the 3rd edition of the course Family Law, author Codruța Hageanu, lecturer at the Lucian Blaga University in Sibiu, appeared at the Hamangiu Publishing House in Bucharest.  The first two editions of the work also carried the reference to civil status documents in the title, but in the 3rd edition, the author gave up this reference, preferring a new structure, in which the patrimonial part of family law is presented separately from the relations of family that do not have this component. The course is complex and complete, even if not exhaustive, in which the didactic experience, but also that of a legal practitioner (the author was a judge and university teacher for a quarter of a century, and is currently a lawyer) is revealed both through the clear exposition and orderly organization of institutions, as well as by trying to provide solutions to controversial issues in an attractive and difficult field at the same time.
