Many scholars see pre-1839 English child custody law as consisting of near-absolute paternal rights. These historians believe that the weakening of fathers’ rights began with the 1839 Custody of Infants Act, which created certain maternal custody rights. Other historians have noted that paternal custody was qualified even before 1839 by the Court of Chancery's application of the doctrine of parens patriae. This paper tells a different story and argues that the origin of incursions into the so-called ‘empire of the father’ was the 1660 Tenures Abolition Act, a statute that ironically seemed designed to strengthen fathers’ rights. The Tenures Abolition Act granted fathers the right to appoint guardians to their children by will. According to Blackstone, the effect of the Act was to extend the father’s empire ‘even after his death.’ But by involving courts in child custody -even as enforcers of fathers’ rights- the Tenures Abolition Act created a tradition of judicial intervention that would eventually undermine those rights. This paper traces the development whereby court supervision of testamentary guardians led to court supervision of fathers themselves, transforming the ‘empire of the father’ into the empire of the judge. For the purpose of screening the history of English law, this paper focused three factors; prevailing views of the history of English Child Custody Law(Ⅱ), the source of judicial power-the regulation of testamentary guardians(Ⅲ), the regulation of fathers(Ⅳ). The notion of Parental Responsibility which was adopted in English Children Act 1989 led to spread the change of ‘parental right’throughout the Global Society rapidily. It’s about time, I think, we gave serious thought to revise the notion of ‘parental right' in the Korean Civil Law.

소개
법은 善과 術(Jusest ars boni et eaqui)이라고 한다. 법학 연구의 일반적인 경향은 선과 형평에 관한 문제를 실체법분야에서 총괄적으로 다룬다면, 그 '術'에 해당하는 부분은 소송법 분야에서 다루어진다 할 것이다. 법학은 모름지기 실체법을 외면한 소송법만의 연구가 허탈에 빠지게 되고, 또 소송법을 경시하는 실체법만의 연구도 공허할 수 밖에 없다. 민사법의이론과실무학회는 실체법과 소송법이라는 구체적 전문성의 차이가 있음에도 불구하고 공동발표회를 가짐으로써 상호 보완하고 보다 깊게 민사법 연구의 전문성을 살려나가는데 그 목적이 있다.
