In Friend v. Friend, Ethan J. Leib takes stock of friendship--the most ancient of social institution--and its ongoing transformations, and contends that it could benefit from better and more sensitive public policies. Leib shows that the law has not kept up with changes in our society: it sanctifies traditional family structures but has no thoughtful approach to other aspects of our private lives.
