Book excerpt: Access to justice is a vital element in the democratic process and one of the basic principles of the rule of law. Access to legal aid - the provision of legal advice, assistance and/or representation at either no cost or subject to a financial contribution - is crucial to ensure access to justice.The guidelines on the efficiency and the effectiveness of legal aid schemes in the areas of civil and administrative law were adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 31 March 2021.The guidelines take into account existing international, European and national standards relating to legal aid, and are built on the expertise of the European Committee on Legal Co-operation (CDCJ) in legal aid policy and practice. They are designed to serve as a practical guide to support the implementation of existing standards, without necessarily changing organisational frameworks in place, in order to strengthen national legal aid schemes in the areas of civil and administrative law.The guidelines include generic solutions on issues such as early intervention with the help of legal aid systems (preliminary legal aid), quality assurance mechanisms in legal aid schemes, means and merits testing, organisation of legal aid system and availability of legal aid providers, and data collection. Further guidance is available in the accompanying explanatory memorandum of the guidelines.This publication is aimed at decision-makers and practitioners working to develop and improve the functioning of legal aid schemes at national level. It also aims to support member States' efforts towards the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development vision of a "just, equitable, tolerant, open and socially inclusive world in which the needs of the most vulnerable are met", and notably SDG 16.3's promises to ensure equal access to justice for all

Book Synopsis Towards a Just Society by : Alastair Hudson
Download or read book Towards a Just Society written by Alastair Hudson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work analyzes the weaknesses in the established political approaches to reform of the provision of justice, judging them as being either too overtly concerned with inappropriate free market structures, or too wedded to legal procedural rules. It argues that the most efficient solution is an adapted version of legal aid as a kind of welfare state benefit and more integrated public services aimed at providing justice for the citizen.
Book Synopsis Economic and Other Benefits Associated with the Provision of Civil Legal Aid by : Laura Abel
Download or read book Economic and Other Benefits Associated with the Provision of Civil Legal Aid written by Laura Abel and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 2009, California enacted the Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act, setting up pilot programs to provide representation in civil cases concerning basic human needs. The Act's powerful introductory language includes the statement that the “significant social and governmental costs of depriving unrepresented parties of vital legal rights affecting basic human needs ... may be avoided or reduced by providing the assistance of counsel where parties have a reasonable possibility of achieving a favorable outcome.” This legislative finding is supported by a growing body of data documenting the financial and other societal benefits of their work. This article gathers the results of the existing studies and identifies ongoing or planned projects that may provide additional information in the near future. Part I explains that civil legal aid representation can bring federal funding into a state, and can also help people secure benefits, work authorization, and child support. Part II explains that civil legal aid programs help people prevent events that would be harmful to them and expensive for the larger society. Among the findings: legal services for domestic violence victims reduce domestic violence rates and the associated law enforcement costs; representation for parents in child welfare cases keeps families together and reduces the time children spend in foster care; medical legal partnerships for clients with medical and legal needs improve clients' health and generate revenue for hospitals; and civil legal help for children with criminal records reduces rearrest rates, which in turn lowers law enforcement costs. Finally, Part III draws some lessons learned from the research, and suggests directions for future research.

Book Synopsis Legal Aid in Crisis by : Moore, Sarah
Download or read book Legal Aid in Crisis written by Moore, Sarah and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally introduced as a form of social welfare with near-universal eligibility, legal aid in the UK is now framed as a benefit external to the legal system and understood in primarily economic terms. This book is the first to evaluate the recent reforms of UK legal aid from a social policy perspective and assess their impact on family law courts and advocacy. Written by experts in the field, it focuses on the rise in people representing their own legal case and argues that the reforms effectively ‘delawyerise’ disputes, producing a more inquisitorial justice system and impacting the litigants, court system, staff and process. Arguing for a more holistic concept of the reforms, the book will be of relevance to students, academics, policy-makers, judges, campaigners and social workers, not just in England and Wales, but in other jurisdictions instituting cuts to their legal aid budgets, such as Australia, Scotland, France, and the Netherlands.

Book Synopsis Outsourcing Legal Aid in the Nordic Welfare States by : Olaf Halvorsen Rønning
Download or read book Outsourcing Legal Aid in the Nordic Welfare States written by Olaf Halvorsen Rønning and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This edited collection provides a comprehensive analysis of the differences and similarities between civil legal aid schemes in the Nordic countries whilst outlining recent legal aid transformations in their respective welfare states. Based on in-depth studies of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland, the authors compare these cases with legal aid in Europe and the US to examine whether a single, unique Nordic model exists. Contextualizing Nordic legal aid in relation to welfare ideology and human rights, Hammerslev and Halvorsen Rønning consider whether flaws in the welfare state exist, and how legal aid affects disadvantaged citizens. Concluding that the five countries all have very different legal aid schemes, the authors explore an important general trend: welfare states increasingly outsourcing legal aid to the market and the third sector through both membership organizations and smaller voluntary organizations. A methodical and compassionate text, this book will be of special interest to scholars and students of the criminal justice, the welfare state, and the legal aid system.

Book Synopsis Access to Justice and Legal Aid by : Asher Flynn
Download or read book Access to Justice and Legal Aid written by Asher Flynn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers how access to justice is affected by restrictions to legal aid budgets and increasingly prescriptive service guidelines. As common law jurisdictions, England and Wales and Australia, share similar ideals, policies and practices, but they differ in aspects of their legal and political culture, in the nature of the communities they serve and in their approaches to providing access to justice. These jurisdictions thus provide us with different perspectives on what constitutes justice and how we might seek to overcome the burgeoning crisis in unmet legal need. 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.
Book Synopsis Histories of Legal Aid by : Felice Batlan
Download or read book Histories of Legal Aid written by Felice Batlan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the history of the provision of legal aid and legal assistance to the poor in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in eight different countries. It is the first such book to bring together historical work on legal aid in a comparative perspective, and allows readers to analogise and contrast historical narratives about free legal aid across countries. Legal aid developed as a result of industrialisation, urbanization, immigration, the rise of philanthropy, and what were viewed as new legal problems. Closely related, was the growing professionalisation of lawyers and the question of what duties lawyers owed society to perform free work. Yet, legal aid providers in many countries included lay women and men, leading at times to tensions with the bar. Furthermore, legal aid often became deeply politicized, creating dramatic conflicts concerning the rights of the poor to have equal access to justice.
