#LawProf #FamilyLaw #BlackMastodon NYU Press would probably like me to say I have a chapter in their soon to be released book: CENTERING FAMILIES OF COLOR: A REIMAGINATION OF FAMILY LAW. My former colleague caught me as I was retiring to get a commitment to the project. If you teach family law or are interested in how families of color are treated in the system feel free to check it out. Edited by Nancy Dowd & R.A. Lenhardt.

Japan's government and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party plan to postpone formulating the sixth basic program for promoting gender equality, initially scheduled to be compiled by the end of the year, sources said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/24/japan/politics/new-gender-program-delayed/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #marriage #names #ldp #sanaetakaichi #familylaw #women039sissues

Labor leader Tomoko Yoshino has expressed opposition to a proposal by the government to give legal validity to the use of former surnames after marriage. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/17/japan/rengo-surname-plan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #familylaw #marriage #names #women039sissues #rengo #tomokoyoshino

The government, in its sixth basic program for promoting gender equality, will stipulate that it will consider legislation to legalize the use of pre-marriage family names. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/06/japan/society/japan-surname-gender-equality-program/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #familyregistry #familylaw #marriage #names #nipponishinnokai #ldp #women039sissues #diet

Japan is moving closer than ever to legalizing the primary use of birth names after marriage, with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s bill on the matter likely to be submitted to parliament soon. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/26/japan/politics/surname-takaichi-bill/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #familyregistry #familylaw #marriage #names #nipponishinnokai #komeito #ldp #women039sissues #diet

It's legal groundhogs day over here.

I'm reading the latest filings and its wild to have to face the exact same series of already defeated false allegations a THIRD time in court.

Triple jeopardy belongs on TV not in an American court room. I thought there were laws against double jeopardy, yeeesh.
