Law in Society: Reflections on Children, Family, Culture and Philosophy Summary

Law in Society: Reflections on Children, Family, Culture and Philosophy: Essays in Honour of Michael Freeman by Alison Diduck

This collection, written by legal scholars from around the world, offers insights into a variety of topics from children's rights to criminal law, jurisprudence, medical ethics and more. Its breadth reflects the fact that these are all elements of what can broadly be called 'law and society', that enterprise that is interested in law's place or influence in diffferent aspects of real lives and understands law to be simultaneously symbol, philosophy and action. It also testament to the broad range of vision of Professor Michael Freeman, in whose honour the volume was conceived. The contributions are divided into categories which reflect his distinguished career and publications, over 85 books and countless articles, including pioneering work on children's rights, domestic violence, religious law, jurisprudence, law and culture, family law and medicine, ethics and the law, as well as his enduring commitment to interdisciplinarity.
