27 Fam. & Concil. Cts. Rev. iii (1989)

handle is hein.journals/fmlcr27 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL Our review now has a new name-Family and Concili- ation Courts Review. The Association's Board of Directors believes this name more accurately reflects the AFCC's mem- bership and our associations's goal. With this name change come some modifications in the journal itself. Theme issues will cover important topics. Most of the December, 1989, issue will be devoted to joint custody, incorporating three articles processed through the Meyer Elkin Essay Contest. Other papers include a significant article by Justice Sylvia Cartwright on the Maori conceptualization of family. The June, 1990, issue will be primarily devoted to international articles from China, Denmark, England, Israel, West Germany and other countries. We are becoming an urban village, bound together by an increasing realization of the fragility of our planet and our need to cooperate on all levels of human endeavor. No longer can we afford a purely North American ethnocentrism. We have too much to learn from each other. Other themes related to the family in future reviews are domestic violence, feminist concerns, support/economic is- sues and fundamental questions of equity and social responsi- bility. The Review will continue to publish path-finding articles, as presented in this issue, such as Richard Gardner's article on child custody evaluation and Joan Kelly's and Robert Emory's review of Judy Wallerstein's new book, Second Chances. Other changes contemplated at the meeting of the Editorial Board in Chicago were to explore offers by publishing houses who are interested in publishing our journal. Your editors are exploring the possibilities of such a change. We enter the decade of the 1990s like an old wine in a new bottle-the task is to preserve the quality of the old and incor- porate the changes required by new challenges. Our goal is to make our journal the most relevant publication in the field, not out of personal pride, but out of recognition of the importance of what you-our readers--do. iii FAMILY AND CONCILIATION COURTS REVIEW/VOLUME 27, NUMBER 1/JULY 1989
