FCR special issue on Covid-19 pandemic

Planning for this issue began in May 2020, during the initial crisis stage of lockdowns and vague calls for "pivots." At that time, Barbara Glesner Fines anticipated need for a "Post-Covid" special issue of lessons learned, and we thought that a publication date of April 2022 was far enough in advance to provide this perspective. We now know that the editorial work of sending out a call for papers, selecting articles, and receiving final submissions had to take place alongside the pandemic as an ongoing source of disruptions and uncertainty. The authors have journeyed with us in this process. Some articles keep focus on the initial impacts from March through September 2020, which was when initial titles and abstracts were due. Others take a longer view, adding waves of new data (and an evolving context) into fall 2021. A third approach transcends the specifics of this crisis to examine online family law services that can operate within and outside of public health crises.
