A lot of articles about our national birthday discuss our history with a sense of nostalgia, as if things were better in the past. But legal history shows us that our Founding Fathers gave us concepts and systems that continue, after 250 years, to improve the lives of everyone who lives here. Family Law provides an especially dynamic lens through which to view how law continues to expand opportunities and freedoms based on what our Founders established.
