- Brings together a unique collection of top UK and US family lawyers
- Covers a range of highly topical issues in family policy affecting all advanced countries
This unique contribution to comparative family law brings together dedicated essays on a comprehensive range of issues in family law in the United States and England showing how they stand at the beginning of the new century and how they reached there. This provides an unparalleled opportunity to examine how family law has reacted to a period of change in family life widely held to be without precedent. The legal analyses are set within critical accounts of wider social and family policy and against a fully explored demographic background provided by leading scholars in these areas. Readers will be challenged to understand the
nature of family law and its possible future direction.Readership: Scholars and students of family law and policy in the UK and the US but also throughout the world.

"... offers a timely appraisal of family law and family policy at the start of the new millennium. ... The full sweep of family law gets 'state of the art' treatment ... The book is an important collection of its individual chapters, each written by a recognised scholar in its respective area, as well as a 'state of the art' statement of family law and policy at the start of the twenty-first century. ... the book will appeal to a wide constituency: its chapters are accessibly written for the non-specialist, yet contain original insights for the specialist. It deserves to become a standard reference for students and teachers of family law, social policy, sociology, and social work, and is a worthy successor to the volume that inspired it." -
Social Policy
"This extensive and valuable book ... may well stand as a definitive record of the progress of family law in the second half of the twentieth century, at least as far as the two chosen countries are concerned. ...
