Prof. Hasday Writes about Her New Book, Family Law Reimagined, for Slate.com

Professor Jill Hasday wrote "The Law Should Do Much More to Protect Sibling Relationships When Families Fall Apart" for Slate.com. The article draws on Hasday's recent book, Family Law Reimagined (Harvard University Press 2014), to contend that the law has devoted too little attention to family relationships other than marriage and parenthood. Hasday argues that courts and legislatures should better protect sibling bonds when they are threatened by adoption, divorce, or a parent's death, and she proposes several reforms.
