1. Gary Chartier

Public Practice, Private Law

'There is among us today no universally shared understanding of what marriage is. Gary Chartier presents a discerning, attractive account of marriage - more precisely, of what we should understand marriage to be. Moreover, Chartier explains why, if we accept his account of marriage, we should support admitting same-sex couples to civil marriage. He also explains, persuasively in my view, why we should reject a prominent competing account of marriage, one according to which same-sex couples cannot be truly married. Everyone interested in the contemporary controversy about the meaning of marriage should read Chartier's important, stimulating new book.' Michael J. Perry, Emory University, Atlanta
