- 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.
