As the title of her book suggests,
in this CLE, Minnesota Law School Professor Jill Hasday will discuss deception
in intimate relationships and the hidden body of law that governs it with emphasis
on how our current laws are often placing too much emphasis on
protecting intimate deceivers and too little importance on helping the people they
deceive.
Intimacy and deception are often entangled.
People deceive to lure someone into a relationship or to keep her or
him there, to drain an intimate's bank account or to use her to acquire
government benefits, to control an intimate or to resist domination, or to
capture myriad other advantages. No subject is immune from deception in dating,
sex, marriage, and family life. Intimates can lie or otherwise intentionally
mislead each other about anything and everything.
Intimate Lies and the Law is the first
book that systematically examines deception in intimate relationships and
uncovers the hidden body of law governing this duplicity. Professor Jill Hasday
argues that the law has placed too much emphasis on protecting intimate
deceivers and too little importance on helping the people they deceive. The law
can and should do more to recognize, prevent, and redress the injuries that
intimate deception can inflict. The book won the Scribes Book Award from the
American Society of Legal Writers "for the best work of legal scholarship
published during the previous year" and the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year
Award for Family and Relationships.
