- This approx. 90,000 word monograph is the product of a three-year study of out-of-court family dispute resolution, including the collection and analysis of quantitative data from two national surveys (6674 respondents), and qualitative data from 135 interviews with parties and dispute resolution practitioners (40). The transcripts of 13 dispute resolution cases (25 sessions) were read and analysed. It is the first study systematically to compare different forms of family dispute resolution, considering these in the context of ongoing neoliberal reforms to the family justice system, with conclusions and implications for policy and practice. It won the 2018 Hart-SLSA Book Prize.
