| Summary |
Although family law is diverse and does not fit into a neat theoretical statement as do many other areas of law, one consistent theme is present in family law - human behavior. Although relying too heavily and uncritically on empirical data and conclusions can be risky, there is promise and utility in empirical science applied to family law. This text focuses on the premise that empirical research in family law can lead to better outcomes in many situations. |
