Law and Emotion Symposium held 9/18/08-9/19/08

This conference was the first broad, systematic effort to examine family law through the lens of law and emotion scholarship. Using emerging findings from psychology and neuroscience, leading academics in law and social science from across the country, offered new visions of the goals, substance, and procedures of family law. Speakers considered a range of intimate emotions – attachment, anger, love, fear, anxiety, forgiveness – in re-envisioning a role of law in regulating family conflict and promoting and preserving a diverse array of family relationships.
