Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though most conceptions of the rule of law assume equality before the law – and hence equal access to the justice system – this basic right is not being met for many low and middle income Canadians. This book focuses on the problem of civil access to justice for middle income earners – those whose household income is high enough to disqualify them from legal aid but not high enough to cover the costs of litigation. Featuring contributions by leading Canadian and international scholars, practitioners, and members of the judiciary, this multidisciplinary collection draws on scholarship in the fields of law, social science, and public policy. There is a particular emphasis on family law, consumer law, and employment law, as these are the areas where research has indicated that unmet legal needs are highest. Middle Income Access to Justice presents a variety of innovative solutions, from dispute resolution process reforms to the development of non-lawyer forms of assistance and new methods for funding legal expenses. In doing so, it lays the foundation for the development of a much-needed new delivery model to provide early intervention for legal services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

Book excerpt: 57 million Americans, one-third of them children, qualify for free legal aid, but half or more who seek help are turned away because providers lack sufficient resources. Tens of millions more moderate-income Americans are ineligible for free legal aid, yet lack reliable access to an affordable lawyer. At the same time, state and local governments, nonprofit organizations, and law schools around the country are developing innovative approaches to addressing legal needs in their communities. This issue brief for the Center for American Progress suggests how the federal government can hasten these developments by promoting legal service delivery models that are backed by rigorous evidence of their effectiveness. Evidence-based approaches in civil legal assistance can help service providers target resources more efficiently and bolster the case for new investments by Congress and other funders to increase access to justice. With new leadership and initiative in key institutions, we recommend that the White House and Congress seize the opportunity to: • Establish a "National Access to Justice Institute" in the Justice Department to coordinate legal aid research through a partnership with the American Bar Foundation and the Legal Services Corporation; • Support state and regional centers for legal aid research to catalyze innovation and evaluation through collaboration between the new institute, state access-to-justice commissions, legal services providers, and law school clinics; and • Target federal funds to incentivize evidence-based legal aid delivery systems through competitive grants and market-based mechanisms.

Book excerpt: Getting By offers an integrated, critical account of the federal laws and programs that most directly affect poor and low-income people in the United States-the unemployed, the underemployed, and the low-wage employed, whether working in or outside the home. The central aim is to provide a resource for individuals and groups trying to access benefits, secure rights and protections, and mobilize for economic justice. The topics covered include cash assistance, employment and labor rights, food assistance, health care, education, consumer and banking law, housing assistance, rights in public places, access to justice, and voting rights. This comprehensive volume is appropriate for law school and undergraduate courses, and is a vital resource for policy makers, journalists, and others interested in social welfare policy in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American justice system is vast, complex, varied and dynamic. These features create many barriers to access for low and moderate income people while simultaneously limiting the reach of systemic reform efforts. After all, the system is really many different interrelated sets of courts, clerks and other officials. There are very few levers that run to all the parts. Systems with this structure have long been of interest to economists and game theorists. Drawing on the work Thomas Schelling, this paper adds the frame of coordination to the discussion and suggests that indexing efforts, like the Justice Index of the National Center on Access to Justice, play an important role in setting shared expectations for the many acts of discretion that reconstitute the American justice system every day.

Book excerpt: This paper addresses the inaccess to litigation hardship faced by the near-poor, those members of the middle class who lack the resources to afford full legal representation, but do not qualify for publicly-funded legal services. The paper focuses on whether pro se representation can be effective and explores the role of unbundling, in which attorneys perform only part of the representation, as a possible complement to middle class pro se litigation.Part I of this paper emphasizes the importance of access to justice in the United States and describes why the opportunity to litigate is invaluable to members of our society. Part II defines those encompassed by the term "middle class," and addresses the extent of their access to justice hardship. This section addresses the difficulties that are faced by some members of this financial class who are unable to afford attorney's fees for litigation. It explains why increases in governmental funding are unlikely to remedy the issue. The section encourages lawyer participation in low bono, or sliding scale fee schemes, as a way of making attorneys' fees feasible for middle class people. Additionally, Part II discusses why some people do not litigate their claims, the efficacy of legal insurance, and different types of fee structures that lawyers may charge to handle cases.
