제 8 판 머리말

저자는 민법의 낱권 교과서로 2011년 「민법총칙」을 필두로 매년 한 권씩 발간하여 2015년에는 「친족상속법」까지 민법 전체에 대하여 5권 전부를 펴냈다.
그리고 그 후 쉬지 않고 개정하여 2025년에는 5권 모두가 제 7 판에 이르렀다.
그런데 제 7 판이 맨 처음 나온 것은 의외로 초판이 가장 늦게 나온 「친족상속법」이었다.
무엇보다도 독자들의 과분한 사랑 덕분이었다.
그리고 제 8 판도 역시 「친족상속법」이 다른 책에 앞서서 나오게 되었다.
신속하게 반영해 주어야 할 사항이 많을뿐더러 독자들의 기대가 느껴져서다.

이 책의 제 8 판에서 크게 달라진 점은 다음과 같다
이 책의 제 7 판이 나온 뒤 민법 중 친족상속법이 한 차례 개정되었다.
그리고 친족법?상속법과 관련된 특별법이 새로 제정되었는가 하면 개정되기도 했다.
관련 부속 법령과 대법원규칙의 개정도 있었다.
이번 판에서는 우선 이와 같은 법령의 변화를 충실하게 소개해 주었다.


지난 2년 동안 대법원 전원합의체 판결을 포함하여 중요한 판례가 많이 나타났다.
또한 이 책 내용과 관련된 중요한 헌법재판소 결정이 선고되기도 했다.
이러한 판례를 모두 조사하여 서술하였다.

저자는 2024년에 김병선 교수와 함께 「민법 핵심판례240선」(박영사)을 펴냈다.
그리고 거기에서는 친족상속법 분야의 최신 판례도 분석하였는데, 이 책에서 해당 판례가 나올 때 쉽게 참고할 수 있도록 「민법 핵심판례240선」의 해당 면수를 찾아 적어주었다.

이렇게 하다 보니 되도록 간결하게 쓰려고 했는데도 본문을 기준으로 14면이 증가하였다.
그래도 추가해야 할 내용의 절대적인 양과 중요도를 생각하면 지나치지 않은 것으로 여겨진다.

이 책이 나오는 데에는 많은 분의 도움이 있었다.
박영사의 안종만 회장님과 안상준 대표는 저자에게 개정을 강력히 권하면서 격려도 해 주셨다.
그리고 박영사 편집부의 김선민 이사는 편집을 총괄하여 책을 훌륭하게 만들어주셨고, 조성호 출판기획이사는 책이 제때 출간될 수 있도록 적극적으로 도와주셨다.
이분들을 포함하여 도와주신 모든 분께 깊이 감사드린다.
