Social Parenthood in Comparative Perspective
Investigates social parents – people who function as parents but who may not be recognized as such in the eyes of the law What makes a person a parent? Around the world, same-sex couples are raising children; parents are separating and re-partnering, creating blended families; and children are living with grandparents, family friends, and other caregivers. In these situations, there is often an adult who acts like a parent but who is unconnected to the child through biogenetics, marriage, or adoption—the common paths for establishing legal parenthood. In many countries, this person is called a “social parent.” Psychologically, and especially from a child’s point of view, a social p...

Families, Relational Attachments, and the Law of Collaborative Family-Making
This book points to a crisis at the heart of modern family law’s treatment of “collaborative family-making”: gamete contributions, surrogate motherhood, adoption, functional parenthood, foster care, and kin caregiving. Born of inequality and anchored by exclusivity and secrecy, the dominant legal framework governing collaborative family-making focuses on the acquisition of collaborative services by legal and intended parents without expecting or fostering any lasting bonds between them. This acquisitional framework is starkly disconnected from empirical accounts of the lived experience of collaborations, which demonstrate complex and ongoing relational attachments that extend beyond a ...
The End of Family Court
Explores the failures of family court and calls for immediate and permanent change At the turn of the twentieth century, American social reformers created the first juvenile court. They imagined a therapeutic court where informality, specially trained public servants, and a kindly, all-knowing judge would assist children and families. But the dream of a benevolent means of judicial problem-solving was never realized. A century later, children and families continue to be failed by this deeply flawed court. The End of Family Court rejects the foundational premise that family court can do good when intervening in family life and challenges its endless reinvention to survive. Jane M. Spinak illu...
Law and Revolution
The last one hundred years have seen a number of events that could be perceived as disruptive challenges to the normal operation of the legal order. Some have been disruptive innovations of technologies or business practices, others social changes or constitutional transformations, further buttressed by the impact of globalisation and interdependence affecting the development of international, transnational and global law. Coincidentally, this period of one hundred years has been bookended by two pandemics, themselves disruptive realities testing the resilience as well as the adaptability of the legal regimes. A hundred years ago, the founding dean of a newly established law faculty beginnin...
Gerichtsstands- und Schiedsvereinbarungen im internationalen Erbrecht
Unter welchen Voraussetzungen und durch wen kann bei einem internationalen Erbfall das Streitbeilegungsorgan privatautonom bestimmt werden? Christiane von Bary untersucht den Abschluss von Gerichtsstands- und Schiedsvereinbarungen und berucksichtigt aufgrund der erbrechtlichen Besonderheiten auch einseitige Zustandigkeitsbestimmungen und Schiedsanordnungen. Sie analysiert die im Wortlaut sehr offene Regelung der Europaischen Erbrechtsverordnung zu Gerichtsstandsvereinbarungen und ordnet diese dabei in das System der Verordnung und des europaischen internationalen Zivilverfahrensrechts ein. Zudem werden die sich bei grenzuberschreitenden erbrechtlichen Schiedsverfahren stellenden Fragen des anwendbaren Rechts und der Vollstreckbarkeit unter Ausgleich des unterschiedlichen Stellenwerts der Privatautonomie im Schieds- und Erbrecht einer Losung zugefuhrt. Nicht zuletzt vergleicht die Autorin Gerichtsstands- und Schiedsvereinbarungen, zeigt bestehende Wertungswiderspruche auf und gibt Hinweise zur praktischen Anwendung.
