Zusammenfassung:This book is about divorce and its origins, how these origins have affected current thinking on divorce, and contemporary divorce mores. It also charts the social and political changes that led, twenty years ago, to a revolutionary new divorce law and a revolutionary new court, the Family Court of Australia, an institution that is still evolving and reflecting social and potential trends. Leonic Star, a legal historian, has written a book for non-legal readers and for all those Australians whose lives are touched by the Family Court. She describes the limitations that have sometimes prevented the court from fulfilling original expectations. She analyses the stresses placed on the court and its personnel, and the pressures that have affected the working of the court since its inception. Counsel of Perfection, a much-needed study of one of our most influential and controversial institutions, presents a complete and balanced picture of the Family Court as it enters its third decade.
