- Title
What is Family Law?: A Genealogy Part II.
- Authors
Halley, Janet
- Abstract
The article examines the development of domestic relations, or family, law throughout the 20th century. The author particularly emphasizes how family law characterizes the family as separate from the free market and its governing laws. Family law was largely influenced by the globalization of legal thought throughout the 20th century. The author charts the transition from classical legal understandings of domestic relations to more modern social and administrative law based in industrial workplace relations. This transition saw the dissociation of traditional master-servant relations from family law. In the U.S., family law came to be defined by the marriage contract, as opposed to the laissez faire contract of the market.
