As the interface between the family and the law becomes more imprecise, questions about the level of knowledge of family law the public has, about the channels of communication used in obtaining that knowledge, and about public sentiment in opposition orsupport of the laws become important matters tor consideration. A brief discussion of some findings from a study which sought some answers to those questions reveals that there was relative ignorance of'selected Oregon family laws. Support for controversial minors' rights laws was greater than expected. A need for developing more and better working relations between the legal profession and,family l,ife pro fessionals in order to create greater awareness and understanding of the relationship between the law and the family is discussed
