Synopsis: This book has been the product of many collaborations and wonderful connections over many years. The seed for this book was first planted in 1991, when Liz Schneider taught one of the country’s very first courses on Battered Women and the Law at Harvard Law School. The materials for this and subsequent courses were expanded little by little and ultimately formed the core of the book. Clare Dalton, then professor of law at Northeastern University School of Law School and later Director of Northeastern’s Domestic Violence Institute integrated domestic violence materials into an experimental first-year curriculum at Northeastern and drew on materials that Liz Schneider had prepared. The two of them then decided that this was a book whose time had come.
