Biography
Jonathan Herring has written on criminal, family and medical law. He focuses on how the law interacts with the important things in life: not money, companies or insurance; but love, friendship and intimacy. In his work he seeks to develop ways in the law can recognise and value the goods in activities such as carework and sex, while protecting people from the harms that so often result. Family Law Jonathan Herring has written a popular textbook in this subject and has edited several books on theoretical issues in family law. He was written on domestic abuse, children’s rights and nature of marriage. He is an editor for the Child and Family Law Quarterly. Medical Law Jonathan Herring has written a leading textbook on this subject. He has written on the regulation of pregnancy and enforced medical treatment. He has also co-authored with Dr P-L Chau a series of papers on the medical and legal definition of sex, with particular consideration of intersex people. Criminal Law Jonathan Herring has written two best-selling textbooks on criminal law. He has researched the law on sexual offences, crimes against corpses and failures of parents to protect children from death. Elder Law Jonathan Herring has written a leading monograph on the law’s treatment of older people. He has also published on legal issues surrounding dementia. Care Law Jonathan Herring has written a monograph on the law’s treatment of caring and how adopting an ethic of care could transform the law. Law and Vulnerability is the subject of his recent book.

J J W Herring, Vulnerability, Childhood and the Law (Springer 2018) -
Beverley Clough and J J W Herring, Ageing, Gender and Family Law (Routledge 2018) This book explores the intersecting issues relating the phenomenon of ageing to gender and family law. The latter has tended to focus mainly on family life in young and middle age; and, indeed, the issues of childhood and parenting are key in many family law texts. Family life for older members has, then, been largely neglected; addressing this neglect, the current volume explores how the issues which might be important for younger people are not necessarily the same as those for older people. The significance of family, the nature of family life, and the understanding of self in terms of one’s relationships, tend to change over the life course. For example, the state may play an increasing role in the lives of older people – as access to services, involvement in work and the community, the ability to live independently, and to form or maintain caring relationships, are all impacted by law and policy. This collection therefore challenges the standard models of family life and family law that have been developed within a child/parent-centred paradigm, and which may require rethinking in the turn to family life in old age. Interdisciplinary in its scope and orientation, this book will appeal not just to academic family lawyers and students interested in issues around family law, ageing, gender, and care; but also to sociologists and ethicists working in these areas.J J W Herring and Imogen Goold, Medical Law and Ethics: Great Debates (2nd edn Plagrave 2018) Charles Foster and J J W Herring, Human Thriving and the Law (Springer 2018) J J W Herring, 'Ageing, love and family law' in Beverley Clough and Jonathan Herring (eds), Ageing, Gender and Family Law (Routledge 2018) Charles Foster and J J W Herring, 'Author meets critics: Identity, Personhood and the Law' (2018) 44 Journal of Medical Ethics 69 Michael Dunn, Ashok Handa, J J W Herring and K.W.M.

While it accepts that people can cause their own ill health, it argues that NHS staff are not in a position to determine the extent to which a person can be said to have contributed to their ill health in a blameworthy way. Further, that ill health is often a result of multiple causes, and it is unfair to isolate the patient to bear the costs. The article concludes by promoting a vision of relational health whereby we recognize our responsibilities to produce healthy communities and relationships.J J W Herring, 'The Vulnerability of God and Humanity' (2018) 180 Law and Justice 5 C.
