This edition is for judges, law school professors and students, attorneys, academics, and judicial trainers. It contains the full book plus four additional chapters which are heavily cited. This book describes the methodology and mistakes of "experts" who testify about domestic violence. The "circle of experts" phenomenon is described, supplemented by two flow charts showing how it occurs. Several amicus curiae are dissected, each citation being subjected to empirical analysis. The decision in U.S. v.

Castleman is subjected to the same scrutiny, all to show how JD's lack empirical training and thus are incapable of recognizing the bad science that lays behind feminist claims made in amicus curiae, and also appellate decisions which cite "research". You will learn how feminist judicial practice is predicated upon the lack of ability of JD's to scrutinize the empirical basis for these works and claims based upon them. Also covered is funding of the family law DVRO machine, a lengthy chapter on the goals and strategies of feminism, an overview of empirical science and its importance in the practice of family law. This is a hard look at an area of extreme vulnerability, and failure, by the judiciary.
