Bringing the Courts to Heel: Substituting Legislative Policy for Judicial Discretion
John J. Sampson
University of Texas Law School
Family Law Quarterly, Vol. 33, No. 3, Fall 1999
Abstract:
Rather than examining the big picture of how state legislatures flex their muscles, this essay discusses a microcosm on that subject. It is a collection of war stories about a relatively narrow topic from a single state-Texas. These tales of joint custody and visitation illustrate the author's broader point that, as the twentieth century winds down, legislatures increasingly choose to regulate family law in very fine detail.
