Reforming Family Court: Getting It Right Between Rhetoric and Reality

Publication Title

Washington University Journal of Law & Policy

Abstract

How does our place or role within the system affect our perceptions of reform?

Answering these questions may lead to a better understanding of why family court reform is stuck between rhetoric and reality.
