Kaplan and Frolik, Nutshell 4th ed.

Law students will be glad to know that the 4th edition of Elder Law in a Nutshell by Lawrence A. Frolik (Pittsburgh) and Richard Kaplan (Illinois) has just appeared. Along with various updating and revisions throughout the book, chapters on Medicare and Medicaid have been extensively rewritten due to recent legislation affecting those two programs, especially the Medicare Act of 2003 (Part D drug benefit, means-testing of Part B premiums, appeals procedures, new medigap options) and this past February’s Deficit Reduction Act (Medicaid eligibility regarding home equity, asset transfers, income-first rule for community spouses, long-term care Partnerships).

Elder law teachers should be able to get a complimentary copy from the publisher.  Visit http://west.thomson.com/replocator/ to find your Thomson-West representative and request your copy TODAY!!
