Intersections between the Law, Religion and Human Rights Project

Literature Review by Schofield King Lawyers

This literature review, completed by Associate Professor Toni Schofield of Schofield King Lawyers, explores the intersections between the law, religion and human rights. It focuses on peer-reviewed research that discusses alternative dispute resolution in religious communities and education and training related to alternative dispute resolution and family law issues in Australia.  

The review finds  that “research required to identify and analyse the patterns and dynamics of alternative dispute resolution related to family law matters in Islamic communities in Australia does not yet exist”, concluding that  comprehensive and systematic Australian research is required to further investigate these issues.
