Access to Justice de Deborah L. Rhode

Access to Justice

Autor Deborah L. Rhode
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 ian 2006
"Equal Justice Under Law" is one of America's most proudly proclaimed and widely violated legal principles. But it comes nowhere close to describing the legal system in practice. Millions of Americans lack any access to justice, let alone equal access. Worse, the increasing centrality of law in American life and its growing complexity has made access to legal assistance critical for all citizens. Yet according to most estimates about four-fifths of the legal needs of the poor, and two- to three-fifths of the needs of middle-income individuals remain unmet. This book reveals the inequities of legal assistance in America, from the lack of access to educational services and health benefits to gross injustices in the criminal defense system. It proposes a specific agenda for change, offering tangible reforms for coordinating comprehensive systems for the delivery of legal services, maximizing individual's opportunities to represent themselves, and making effective legal services more affordable for all Americans who need them.

Recenzii

"Rhode has written an important, thoughtful, and well-argued book."--Law and Politics Book Review
"What makes Ms. Rhode such an effective advocate is not the piercing nature of her salvos--which are lethal--but the abundance of support for her arguments. Access to Justice is thoroughly researched and finely written."--New York Law Journal
"Deborah Rhode has jolted a million lawyers with a wake-up call. She urges them to open the doors to the unmet need for justice by most of the people who cannot afford their services. A challenging book for anyone, not just lawyers and law students, who believes that justice can be done if we have the will to pursue it."--Ralph Nader, Consumer Advocate
"Deborah Rhode's Access to Justice offers a devastating and compelling depiction of the illusion of equal justice in the American legal system, not only for the poor, but for most Americans, and outlines a sensible and pragmatic roadmap for making the promise of equal justice for all a reality."--David Cole, author of No Equal Justice
"Many critics of American law say the system is in crisis because it is flooded with frivolous claims. Deborah Rhode argues instead that the system is in crisis because it serves too few people, and serves the poorest of them, who are in the worst trouble, badly or not at all. If our society ever decides to make good on its promises of justice, this book will be an admirable manual and guide."-- Robert W. Gordon, Yale Law School
"Based on decades of study, the book fights myths with facts, and offers a comprehensive look at the haphazard way Americans find help, or fail to, for their most serious legal problems. For anyone who really cares about the American system of justice, this beautifully written book is indispensable."--David Luban, author of Lawyers and Justice
