Abstract

Common sense suggests that families ought not to resolve their disputes by increasing the conflict and taking legally defined positions. Family law disputes are riddled with emotional and financial complications and goals, not strictly legal issues. The challenge for lawyers working in this area is to respond to client needs in a cost-effective manner within the system of laws. Responding to that challenge is complicated by three factors: the access to justice crisis; the impact of family violence; and, the limitations of the law. This Correspondent’s Report details several recent reform initiatives in Canada that are starting to reflect the reality of family law, and explores the resulting questions about the role of the family law lawyer.

增加对家庭法律师的重视:来自加拿大通讯员的报道

常识表明，家庭不应该通过增加冲突和采取法律规定的立场来解决争端。家庭法纠纷充斥着情感和经济上的复杂问题和目标，而不是严格意义上的法律问题。从事这一领域工作的律师面临的挑战是在法律体系内以成本效益高的方式满足客户的需求。应对这一挑战因三个因素而变得复杂：诉诸司法的危机；家庭暴力的影响；以及法律的局限性。本通讯员的报告详细介绍了加拿大最近的几项改革举措，这些举措开始反映家庭法的现实，并探讨了由此产生的关于家庭法律师角色的问题。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
