Abstract
Emerging from a colonial past, Pacific island states have legal systems which are patchy and often incoherent. This article examines the role of judges in the field of family law and how, through creative use of comparative legal thinking, they contribute to the development of the law in countries where the state is slow to reform outdated and often inadequate legislation.
