"Family Law in Practice: A Study of Cases in the Circuit Court" is
the first book to examine the workings of the Irish family law in
the Circuit Court. Prior to 2005 due to the in camera rule,
reporting on and access to family law courts was prohibited. The
Courts and Civil Liability Act 2004 and the attendant Regulations
came into operation in 2005 and allowed access to family law courts
for named categories of people, including bona fide researchers.
"Family Law in Practice: A Study of Cases in the Circuit Court" is
based both on attendance at court proceedings and empirical data
from court files. The family law system is subjected to both
statistical and legal analysis, within the context of international
and Irish literature on the theory and practice of family law,
while stressing the need for basic primary research in an Irish
context. "Family Law in Practice: A Study of Cases in the Circuit
Court" outlines trends relating to the likelihood of settlement,
the issues most likely to be contentious and the outcomes in both
settled and contested cases. Common assumptions about the family
law system in the context of the facts are questioned and found to
be sometimes misplaced. The identification of flaws in the family
law system is highlighted as are recommendations for the future.
