New York’s divorce laws. She is the coauthor (with Harry D. Krause, Linda D. Elrod &
J. Thomas Oldham) of a widely used family law casebook (Family Law: Cases, Comments, and
Questions (Thompson-West, 6th ed. 2007)) and (with Carl E. Schneider) an
interdisciplinary textbook on bioethics and the law (Law and Bioethics: Individual
Autonomy and Social Regulation (Thompson-West, 2003)). Her work has been published in a
wide variety of edited books and journals. Recent scholarship includes articles in the
Harvard Law Review, UCLA Law Review, Virginia Journal of Law and Social Policy, Duke
Journal of Law and Gender Policy, and the International Survey of Family Law.
