The Family Law (Scotland) Act 1985 at 40
It is now almost 40 years since the Scottish system for financial provision came into effect, and it is 10 years since the publication of the report Built to Last, which presented findings from research into the operation in practice of the Act and how it was perceived by the legal professionals who used it.

Some Post-Modern Perspectives on Law and Society
Law is a text. Or law is found in texts. The great obsession of post-modernity is that 'all is text'. There is no distinction between text and context. All is surface, a portion of the intertext.1 What can such polemics mean? More post-modern punchlines are: the texts are self-referential; they are signifiers without a signified. This language is not immediately intelligible, but it can, nonetheless, have a powerful impact as an instrument of soc…
