The book fills an important gap in existing scholarship as the first to bring together new empirical and theoretical knowledge examining different responses to legal aid crises both in the domestic and comparative contexts, across criminal, civil and family law. It achieves this by examining the broader social, political, legal, health and welfare impacts of legal aid cuts and prescriptive service guidelines. Across both jurisdictions, this work suggests that it is the most vulnerable groups who lose out in the way the law now operates in the twenty-first century. This book is essential reading for academics, students, practitioners and policymakers interested in criminal and civil justice, access to justice, the provision of legal assistance and legal aid.
Industry Reviews
Access to Justice & Legal Aid presents important perspectives on the crisis in unmet legal need in England, Wales and Australia, and makes a compelling case that governments at all levels should reverse the decline in support for legal aid and address the unmet legal need forthrightly. -- Douglas S Eakeley, Rutgers Law School * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *
This book is a welcome contribution to the 'excellent but thin' body of literature examining access to justice in Australia, and its comparative perspective adds a level of depth to that understanding. Practitioners, researchers and policymakers will all take something from this collection. -- James Farrell * Alternative Law Journal *
Overall, this is an excellent and informative book. It will be of great use both to the novice wanting an introduction of contemporary issues in access to justice and legal aid and to the specialist wishing to deepen their knowledge and stimulate further discussion and debate. Perhaps most of all, it ought to be considered required reading for policy-makers in this area. -- James Thornton, Nottingham Law School, Nottingham Trent University * Legal Studies *
