| Sumario: | This book is concerned with the legal problems encountered by people whose lives are disadvantaged: disabled people, carers, homeless people, people on low incomes, people falling foul of immigration law ... it is a long list. People in this position often experience multiple and synchronous legal problems ('clustered problems') for which the traditional 'single issue' lawyering approach is ill equipped. Such people - to cite Stephen Wexler - 'do not lead settled lives into which the law seldom intrudes; they are constantly involved with the law in its most intrusive forms'. Their legal challenges don't come in single discrete packages (eg a personal injury claim, a house purchase, a divorce) but are multiple, interlinked and successional. No sooner has one problem been addressed than another is encountered. This book explores the causes and the effects of clustered injustice, describing the harm that results and why core responsibility for this harm rest squarely with the state. |
