Clare Huntington participated in a question and answer with LegalNews.com to discuss her book, Failure to Flourish: How Law Undermines Family Relationships.
Huntington is the author of “Failure to Flourish: How Law Undermines Family Relationships,” a project that was a decade in the making and the subject of a presentation at a Baltimore Bar Library event on Tuesday, June 7.
According to Huntington’s research, the legal regulation of families does not address the needs of families and sometimes actively works against those needs. The criminal justice system, divorce laws and even transportation policy make it difficult for parents to provide their children with strong, stable and positive relationships.
