As prolific as he is profound, Stephen Cretney has long been regarded as the leading English scholar in the field of family law. From textbooks that provided guidance to generations of students to the crowning achievement of Family Law in the Twentieth Century: A History, Cretney's writing has always been a model of elegance and erudition. Even had the essays in this book not been written in his honor, they would inevitably have had to rely heavily on his work. Private ordering, marriage, civil partnership, cohabitation, children, separation, divorce - the entire spectrum of family law covered here - have all benefited from his insightful comments and meticulous scholarship. What also became apparent - from the rush of judges and academics who wanted to contribute to this book - is the equally high personal regard in which Stephen Cretney is held by his peers. This festschrift is indeed a labor of love.

Rebecca Probert teaches family law at the University of Warwick. She has written on all aspects of modern family law in several books. Her main research interests lie in the field of the history of marriage, divorce, cohabitation and bigamy, with recent books including" Marriage Law and Practice in the Long Eighteenth Century: A Reassessment" (CUP, 2009), "The Changing Legal Regulation of Cohabitation: From Fornicators to Family", 1600-2010 (CUP, 2012) and "Marriage Law for Genealogists" (Takeaway, 2012).

Chris Barton is Emeritus Professor of Family Law, an Emeritus Member of the Society of Legal Scholars and a Vice-President of the Family Mediators Association. He is External Examiner at some 6 universities, and he is also part time adviser to a Shadow Minister for Justice with responsibility for family law.
