The Oxford Handbook of Children and the Law presents cutting-edge interdisciplinary scholarship on a broad range of topics covering the life course of humans from before birth to adulthood, by leading scholars in each area. Authors present and analyze the law and science pertaining to reproduction; prenatal life (including fetal exposure to toxic substances and abortion); parentage (including biology-based rights, background checks on birth parents, adoption, ART, and surrogacy); infant development; child maltreatment (including corporal punishment and religious defences to abuse and neglect); the child protection system and foster care; child custody disputes between parents; schooling (including financing, resegregation, religious expression in public schools, at-risk students, special education, regulating private schools, and homeschooling); delinquency; minimum-age laws; and child advocacy. It is an essential resource for scholars and professionals interested in the intersection of children and the law.

After earning a J.D. degree at Yale Law School and a Ph.D. in political and moral philosophy from Stanford University, he practiced law in family courts in upstate New York, representing children in a variety of domestic relations and child protection cases. After two-year appointments at Chicago-Kent College of Law and the University of Wyoming School of Law, Dwyer joined the William & Mary faculty in 2000, where he teaches Family Law, Youth Law, Law & Social Justice, and Trusts & Estates. He has authored dozens of articles on children's rights, many amicus briefs in child-welfare cases in appellate courts, and a half dozen monographs--most recently Liberal Child Welfare Policy and its Destruction of Black Lives and Homeschooling: The History and Philosophy of a Controversial Practice.
