The Oxford Handbook of Children and the Law presents cutting-edge scholarship on a broad range of topics covering the life course of humans from before birth to adulthood, by leading scholars in law, medicine, social work, sociology, education, and philosophy, and by practitioners in law and medicine. An international collection of authors presents and analyzes the law and science pertaining to reproduction; prenatal life (including fetal exposure to toxic substances and abortion); parentage (including biology-based rights, background checks on birth parents, adoption, the status of gamete donors, and surrogacy); infant development and vulnerability; child maltreatment (including corporal punishment and religious defences to abuse and neglect); child protection policy and systems; foster care; child custody disputes between parents or between parents and other caregivers; schooling (including financing, resegregation, religious expression in public schools, at-risk students, special education, regulation of private schools, and homeschooling); delinquency; minimum-age laws; and child advocacy. Most chapters follow a format wherein they first describe the most debated or dynamic issues in each topical area, then explain in depth the law and/or science pertaining to the author's particular focus, and finally offer arguments and recommendations as to law and policy in that area. The normative component aims to advance discussions and debates in vital areas of contemporary child welfare law and policy. The Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and professionals interested in the intersection of children and the law.

James G. Dwyer is Professor of Law at the College of William & Mary, where he holds the Arthur B. Hansen chair. After earning a J.D. degree at Yale Law School and a Ph.D. in political and moral philosophy from Stanford University, he practiced law in family courts in upstate New York, representing children in a variety of domestic relations and child protection cases. After two-year appointments at Chicago-Kent College of Law and the University of Wyoming School of Law, Dwyer joined the William & Mary faculty in 2000, where he teaches Family Law, Youth Law, Law & Social Justice, and Trusts & Estates. He has authored dozens of articles on children's rights, many amicus briefs in child-welfare cases in appellate courts, and a half dozen monographs--most recently Liberal Child Welfare Policy and its Destruction of Black Lives and Homeschooling: The History and Philosophy of a Controversial Practice.
