Bringing together some of the world’s leading family law scholars, as well as bright and emerging minds in the field of global family law, this book explores the differences and commonalities in the conceptualization and legal treatment of families throughout different legal traditions. Each chapter delves into topics integral to family law jurisprudence and serves as a novel examination into a deep slice of family law. Together, the four parts and sixteen chapters create a melodious and intriguing examination of groundbreaking and cutting-edge areas of law in the realm of the family. The four parts primarily focus upon a major family law topic with the authors examining the laws across jurisdictions, cross-nationally, or in some cases intra-jurisdictionally. It is through this comparative lens that we see how family law concepts are woven into the fabric of overall society around the globe. This book is of interest to family law, international law, sociology, and socio-legal scholars.

This is what happens when the education system is just a way to organize robbers. The authors are not content with their current cut from the taxes collected, and they want more. Hence, each one of them will produce a mediocre article, they will pay a few people, with the money collected from the working people, to do some magic turning a collection of Word documents into a paper book, and voila: one more ”published papers” for the gang. Enough of these and the next level in monthly payments for ever and ever, as when they will be too bored to go to their comfy campus offices, they will stay home and still receive monthly payments from the pockets of the working people.
