Professor Chris Barton, Retired Family Law Teacher and Vice-President, Family Mediators Association. The purpose of the article is to consider some of family law's modern 'men's' pressure groups - those concerned with family breakdown - in the light of the subject's recent overt politicisation, the methods deployed and, so far as possible, their impact and success. See March [2006] Fam Law 202 for the full article.
