The Law

Islamic Family Law is one of the most studied fields in Malaysian law. This is because it affects the personal life of Muslims, and because many issues have arisen as a result of the implementation of the Islamic Family Law Enactment which governs Muslims in Malaysia. Scholarship in this area has expanded with the development of the Enactment itself. Several approaches have been used to analyze the implementation of the lawinter alia,legal, socio-legal, comparative, and anthropological and sociological perspecitves. It cannot be denied that research and scholarly publications in the field of Islamic Family Law have contributed to further strengthening the administration of justice and the implementation of the law. As such, this paper is intended to describe the trends in the area of Islamic Family Law. Doing so will assist in ascertaining the direction of this field in the future.

In March 2020, the family law courts, like other Australian courts, moved to hearing proceedings ‘remotely’, by phone, audio-visual link or software platform. This article examines the particular circumstances of family law cases that likely impact on whether it is appropriate for remote procedures to be used. Giving context to these themes, the article reports on a survey of Australian federal judicial officers about their experiences of conducting family law proceedings remotely.

Shariah Court is an institution that plays an important role in governing divorces in Malaysia. The increase of divorce cases that occur in Malaysia pressurizes the Shariah Court in some ways. The administration of these divorce cases needs to be administered more effectively to ensure the smoothness of each case. This study was done to investigate and identify the most registered cases in the Shariah Court in Malaysia. In addition, this study serves to identify the workflow for the newly introduced project concerning divorce cases called “the fast track”. This will help to overcome the divorce case backlogs that will happen in the future. To ensure the success of this study, a number of employees has been interviewed, ranging from the judges, attorneys and assistant registrars for the Shariah Court. The results of the study showed that enactment section 47, Islamic Family Law is among the most registered cases and constantly increasing every year. The fast track is seen as a good method, but some things need to be taken care of to ensure its effectiveness. Consistent work force is also required to ensure this fast project achieves its potential in administering divorce cases in the Shariah courts. Keywords: Islamic Family Law, fast track, Shariah Law, Shariah Court, governing divorce admininstration in Malaysia

Professor Gordon Anderson and labour law are synonymous in New Zealand. Gordon has provided a vision for the future of labour law. This article is offered in a similar spirit. It was prepared for a conference on "The Future of Family Law", held in Auckland on 20 September 2018 with distinguished guest, Lady Brenda Hale, President of the United Kingdom Supreme Court. The history of family law in New Zealand is full of remarkable landmarks. Many align with the rights of various groups: children, women, Māori, those with intellectual disabilities, LGBTI+ communities and abuse victims. If we dig deeper, we find that the various parts do not make a very coherent and harmonious whole. The law is tugged in different directions. This article draws on the concept of "family solidarity", refashioned for New Zealand purposes as "family and community solidarity". Could this help develop a unifying theme? Could it form the basis for future family law reform? Developments such as legislation on child poverty reduction, the Ministry for Children and relationship property law are briefly explored.

The Future

Psychology is, and can be, influential in addressing some of the most difficult and debated family law topics of today and the family law of the future. In some areas, psychological researchers have been actively involved in making empirically sound policies that make the lives of family members better; while in other areas it seems the research has led to more confusion. Still other areas have been neglected entirely and seem ready for careful research examination. There is no unifying family law theory and no simple way to bring all the topics together in a cohesive unit—especially as the topics within family law continue to broaden and evolve.

Valuation Of Life

Taking up the suggestion at the end of Chapter 4, this one proposes that an important effect of the concerted futurological project was to place a novel emphasis in the series on everyday life; and that this in turn contributed to the development—already in embryo—of cultural and media studies. After a discussion of these emerging disciplines, volumes are analysed dealing with advertising, the press, communication and travel, the home and the family, law, the environment, and leisure. A key volume in this discussion is C. E. M. Joad’s Diogenes; or, The Future of Leisure (1928), which moves wittily between a satire of contemporary pastimes and a consideration—via G. B. Shaw’s ‘metabiological’ suite of plays, Back to Methusaleh, of a possible evolutionary future that informs the one imagined by Bernal. The chapter ends by discussing the volumes on labour and sport, and concluding that the series’ vision of everyday life is one profoundly conditioned by the experience of the recent war as giving a new valuation of life in all its forms.
