Inaugural Lecture of Professor Gillian Black

Edinburgh Law School presents the Inaugural Lecture of Professor Gillian Black: Happy Families? Privacy and Protection in Family Law About the lecture Family life is generally regarded as a private matter for the family members. This gives rise to a troubling tension at the heart of family law: how should the state respect the privacy of the family while protecting vulnerable family members? By examining specific areas of family law – including the legal regulation of divorce, sexual intimacy, domestic abuse, and the family courts – I will assess how the law currently strikes this balance, and ask: does it get it right? About the Speaker Gillian is Professor of Scots Private Law at the University of Edinburgh, a Commissioner at the Scottish Law Commission, and Linlithgow Pursuivant Extraordinary in the Court of the Lord Lyon. Her teaching and research interests lie principally in family law, contract law, and privacy, with a special research interest in heraldry. She has published widely across these fields.
