Sex, Preference, and Family: Essays on Law and Nature

Rating:
Summary: Family law is still important!
Review: This is an anthology that resulted from a lecture series at Brown University. (It's surprising that a legal book comes out of a university that has no law school.) In their articles, writers try to blend social construction theories with family law issues. The point is to show family law is still a dynamic field. A ton of famous, famous professors contributed to this book. Examples include Posner, Halley, Minow, et al. Nussbaum, like always, has an interesting contribution as well. This would be a nice addition to any gay legal studies or feminist legal studies collection.
