Access to Justice for Disadvantaged Communities
Autor Marjorie Mayo, Gerald Koessl, Matthew Scott, Imogen Slateren Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2015
Justice is a basic human right in all democratic doctrines, but in Britain, where welfare has faced recent market-based reforms, it’s increasingly a right available only to those who can afford it. Professionals and volunteers are struggling to provide services such as legal counseling and representation to disadvantaged communities. This book explores how strategies to safeguard these vital services can strengthen, rather than undermine, the basic ethics and principles of public service provision. The authors show how such safeguarding might improve the positions of those who administer—as well as those who need—publicly provided legal services. Though focused on Britain, their findings reverberate to the United States and all democracies undergoing similar challenges in the public sphere.

Recenzii
“An important read for all of those concerned about the role of the state in creating a more equal and just society for all.”
“A valuable and readable account of the complex issues facing Law Centres in a political climate that is increasingly hostile to the provision of good quality legal aid services to those most in need. It is particularly useful for the way in which it brings together in one place a number of different accounts of Law Centres and their role in providing access to justice, both historical and contemporary.”
“This book should be read by anyone with an interest in public policy, law, sociology, and access to justice.”
