Draws together original research from leading contributors to debates about access to justice from Australia, the United States and Europe. Covers unrepresented litigants, public defenders, self-help legal services, state- and market-based alternatives to legal aid, and the adaptation of common law court procedures to aboriginal culture, among other topics. Emphasises the tensions between efficiency, equality and justice. Published in association with the prestigious Journal of Law & Society.
