Current Legal Issues, like its sister volume Current Legal Problems (now available in journal format), is based upon an annual colloquium held at Univesity College London. Each year leading scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloquium examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and analyses points of controversy in the use, and abuse, of extra-legal arguments within legal theory and practice.
Law and Childhood Studies, the fourteenth volume in the Current Legal Issues series, offers an insight into the state of law and childhood studies scholarship today. Focussing on the inter-connections between the two disciplines, it addresses the key issues informing current debates.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Freeman's own contribution in which he articulates an argument for a 'sociology of children's right';...is forward looking and persuasive...the paper by John Tobin. ..sets out the three models of childhood that have shaped current legal thinking. This is, by far, the most thorough presentation of the three models and the implications for the Courts of adopting the rights based model that I have had the benefit of reading. Another Australian contribution is from Ben Matthews...it is an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in the effectiveness, or otherwise, of mandatory reporting laws. * Dr Frank Ainsworth, Journal of Children Australia * This collection paves the way for further thinking on what it means to look at interdisciplinary research in practice and theory and hopefully this book will prove a catalyst for more collaborative thinking about law and childhood studies. * Dr Tamara Tolley, *
