Bristol University Press Diverse Voices in Family Law

Highlighting experiences and voices historically overlooked, misunderstood, or forgotten, this book answers the urgent need for a more diverse and inclusive curriculum in family law in England and Wales. The book helps readers diversify their understanding of the law and its often-unequal impact on citizens, equipping students with the vital skills and knowledge they need to be lawyers in the real world. Sectioned into three parts, the book covers key areas of family law including marriage, divorce, and parenthood, dispute resolution in family law, and domestic abuse. Each chapter takes a critical legal approach to the development and application of the law, enriched by underlining key issues from a range of perspectives to demonstrate the need to recognise diverse voices. Written by a diverse team of expert contributors, the book also includes: further reading lists; helpful chapter summaries; end-of-chapter questions to spark discussion and reflection.
