62053.05This paper highlights the intersection of brain science and family law. The science on brain development suggests that unresolved conflict can have a significant impact on child development. This is compounded by challenges facing the current family justice system. The Reforming the Family Justice System [RFJS] initiative is a collaborative effort by the Alberta government, courts, and the Law Society of Alberta to address these challenges. This paper provides an introduction to the RFJS initiative and explains how the RFJS initiative is different in approach and scope from traditional access to justice initiatives. It also provides a brief discussion on how family law practice may be adapted to improve outcomes for families involved in legal proceedings. This paper is part of a collection presented at LESA’s 2017 Understanding the Brain – What Lawyers Need to Know program.
