We review the magnetic locking of the white dwarf and the companion star
in AM Herculis-type binaries for various white dwarf magnetic field
structures, and compare the theoretical results with observations. The
model in which the white dwarf has a dipole plus a quadrupole field is
found to be in closest agreement with the recent observations.
