Regional conferences North American Regional Conference: Family Realities and Family Law

Theme: Family law aims to address the realities of family life.  But the past half century has witnessed profound changes in family form, gender roles, and relational ideals.  Family law has, of course, changed during this period as well.  But has it changed in the right way?  Are the changes adequate to optimally promote family equity, harmony, and stability?  The conference theme was intended to be inclusive, extending to both public and private family law as well as the social sciences.
