DESCRIPTION:The Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law i
 s proud to inaugurate its 2016-2018 Civil Law Workshops series\, “Le publi
 c en droit privé”\, with a talk by Frederik Swennen (University of Antwerp
 ).\n\nAbstract\n\nThe disconnect between marriage and parenthood (Parsons 
 1916) seems acquis in 21C family law. Particularly\, filiation can be esta
 blished with full effect vis-à-vis parents who are not\, and never were\, 
 each other’s intimate partners.\n\nThe first purpose of this Workshop\, ho
 wever\, is to unveil that parenthood still is much dependent on the existe
 nce of a(n) (former) intimate partnership between the parents\, e.g. in ad
 option law (art. 555 CCQ) or in the exercise of parental authority (art. 3
 72 CCF). Function merely seems to have replaced form.\n\nThe second purpos
 e is to normatively discuss the above in light of the “channelling functio
 n” of family law (Schneider 1992)\, aiming to direct people into accepted 
 social institutions that exert performative effects. Is there a State inte
 rest to direct parents towards certain intimate practices\, if not institu
 tions? Alternatively\, is there a State interest in developing a non-intim
 ate parenthood status between parents (Weiner 2015)?\n\nThe Workshop will 
 draw on family studies\, and on Quebec and Low Countries’ family law.\n\nA
 bout the Civil Law Workshops\n\nIn order to promote fundamental research i
 n private law\, the Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative 
 Law initiated the “Civil Law Workshops” series\, bringing together jurists
  from Québec and beyond to work on related research topics. With their cro
 ss-disciplinary focus\, the “Civil Law Workshops” contribute to enriching 
 and stimulating fundamental research in private law.\n\nThe 2016-2018 seri
 es of Civil Law Workshops presented by the Paul-André Crépeau Centre for P
 rivate and Comparative Law explore 'Le public en droit privé'.\n\nThe work
 shops are presented with financial assistance from Justice Canada’s Suppor
 t Fund for Access to Justice in Both Official Languages.\n\nRegistration i
 s not required. Each workshop has been accredited for 1.5 hours of continu
 ing legal education by the Barreau du Québec.\n
