Domestic abuse and child contact in Scotland
It is now well-established that children are adversely affected by domestic abuse, and that domestic abuse does not always cease following parental separation.

Historically isolated and never colonized, the landlocked kingdom of Bhutan has embarked on a major program of legal reforms. This has necessitated a reliance on foreign legal advisers and the reception of common law. This reception of common law is examined in the context of dispute resolution and the em…
