Albertina Antognini on Nonmarital Coverture

In this episode, Albertina Antognini, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, discusses her draft article "Nonmarital Coverture." Antognini begins by describing the legal concept of coverture and its relationship to the historical concept of marriage and family. Then she explains how the concept of coverture continues to shape modern family law. And she argues that we need to understand how historical concepts of interpersonal relationships shape the ideology of contemporary family law. Antognini's scholarship is available on SSRN.
