This plenary considers numerous aspects of inequality in family law. Panelists will discuss growing family economic inequality and its reproduction from one generation to the next as well as other inequalities across a number of categories related to Family Law, including race, sexuality, gender, access to justice, and the treatment of juveniles and children. Law and society continue to grapple with critical questions: what is the meaning of equality, does the law reinforce inequalities, and how can equality be advanced to best serve families?
