Why Attend?
Family law scholars have increasingly turned to the empirical sciences in their teaching and scholarship to help define problems worthy of exploration, provide the data necessary to develop and test hypotheses, and deepen their understanding of the interaction between law, human behavior, and families. Few problems in family law do not have an empirical dimension or a set of issues that cannot be enhanced through interdisciplinary connections. This conference addresses the growing interest in social science and family law by drawing together prominent family law scholars and some of today’s leading social scientists of the family.
