Penalizing women’s fear: Intimate partner violence and parental alienation in Canadian child custody cases
This paper explores Canadian family law cases involving claims of parental alienation and of family violence from 2014–2018, reporting the data on these claims, their resolution, and their impacts upon custody and access. A close reading of those cases where both alienation and intimate partner violence claims are made reveals troubling patterns in how intimate partner violence is discounted in this context. We suggest that the rise of shared par…

Law and Families
This co-edited volume highlights important classic and contemporary works by law and society scholars who analyze the complex and often highly political relationship between law and families. Featuring authors from Australia, Canada, England and the United States, the volume looks at how socio-legal scholars think about families and the law, how law shapes family practices, the capacity of family law to deliver social justice and how family dispu…
Looking Back, Looking Forward: Feminist Legal Scholarship in SLS
This article offers a review of shifts in feminist legal theory since the early 1990s. We first use our respective histories and fields of expertise to provide a brief overview and highlight some key themes within feminist legal theory. We then examine Social & Legal Studies ( SLS), asking whether it has met its key goal of integrating feminist analyses at every level. Our review suggests that SLS has offered many important contributions to femin…

Corporatism and Legal Education in Canada
Until approximately the 1970s, Canadian law schools were primarily viewed as ‘trade schools’ whose main purpose was to provide a new generation of lawyers trained in a narrow way, without questioning the role of law or lawyers in relation to society and power. Further until the 1970s, few women, persons of colour, or Aboriginal people were admitted to Canadian law schools. Only more recently still did critical thinking made inroads on legal educa…

Family, Law and Sexuality: Feminist Engagements
The author explores feminist frameworks within which questions of family, law and sexuality can best be explored, drawing on recent efforts to (re)establish materialist feminist theory. She suggests that in order to make the important link between questions of gender, sexuality, difference, desire, identity and subjectivity on the one hand, and problems of production and exploitation on the other, a materialist feminist theory must incorporate th…
Is There an Ideology of Motherhood in (Post)Modern Child Custody Law
The concept of the ideology of motherhood is crucial to much early feminist work on child custody law. This ideology of motherhood consisted of a set of “common-sense” expectations, described by the author. The ideology of motherhood assisted in understanding why a field where women (since the death of paternal custody) appeared to “succeed” -- statistically end up with custody of children more often then men -- could be problematic from a femini…
(Re)Placing the State: Family, Law and Oppression
In this article I argue that an analysis of “the State” is necessary in order to understand legal developments related to “family” that are relevant to efforts to combat the oppression of heterosexual women, as well as of lesbians and gay men. Drawing on recent debates concerning postmodernism and feminist theory, I review efforts to reconceptualize the nature of the state not as a monolithic institution, but rather as a set of arenas, or the sit…

Canadian Feminist Perspectives on Law
This paper provides an overview of Canadian feminist literature on law, starting with a brief chronology of the development of the scholarship from the time of the Report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women (1970). The authors break the literature down into the five substantive areas most often written about: criminal law, family law, income redistribution, employment law, and legal education/legal profession. They also examine the maj…
