Adults and Children in Postmodern Societies: A Comparative Law and Multidisciplinary Handbook
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Adults and Children in Postmodern Societies provides a critical analysis of the different ways in which the law can recognise and protect relationships between adults and children in postmodern societies which are characterised by increas-ingly diverse family configurations. The book focuses of six fundamental ques-tions: * How does the law deal with the changes occurring in what is still re-ferred to as the `traditional' family, such as for example anonymous childbirth, paternity disputes, shared custody? * How does the law recognise and protect families conceived with help of assisted reproduction techniques, such as IVF, surrogacy, anonymous or non-anonymous gamete donation? * How does the law recognise and protect families bound by de facto so-cial or emotional ties, particularly in context of step-parents and step-children or foster families? * Which relationships between adults and children should be recognised and protected by law? Should there be restrictions based on couple sta-tus, gender or number? * If relationships between adults and children should be protected, which legal tools should be used: legal rules, judicial discretion or contractual freedom? * Which common analytical framework could be used to understand - and face - the legal challenges raised by the transformations of family relationships? These questions are addressed in-depth by an international team of distin-guished family law experts of 19 different jurisdictions (Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Democratic Republic of the Congo, England and Wales, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, the Nether-lands, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and the USA), covering the current state of affairs, foreseeable legal developments and thought-provoking reflections. The legal perspective of the national reports is com-plemented by interdisciplinary perspectives from experts in history, anthro-pology, psychology and philosophy, making this book a unique and essen-tial source for anyone working in the field.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
