Description: Delivering Family Justice in Late Modern Society in the wake of Legal Aid Reform by Mavis Maclean Life after LASPO: where can people seeking legal information, advice or help with family or welfare problems turn?

FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Legal aid for family cases in private law, mainly divorce and separation, where the state is not directly involved as it is in public law cases where there are issues of domestic violence or neglect or abuse of children, came to an abrupt end together with help for welfare and immigration cases on April 1 2013 when the Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO) came into effect. This book presents an account of the wide ranging problems which the researchers and practitioners expected to ensue. Sadly, their fears have been realised in many areas of legal help and advice. The National Audit Office was to take the view in 2014 that although the Ministry of Justice had succeeded in making considerable savings in the cause of austerity that they had failed to investigate or understand the impact of these cuts on the individuals concerned and society as a whole. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law. Author Biography Mavis Maclean has carried out empirical research in family justice for many years, and founded the Oxford Centre for Family Law and Policy with John Eekelaar in Oxford in 2001. She has worked as an academic adviser to the Ministry of Justice, and edits the JSWFL with Helen Stalford. Table of Contents Introduction: Late modern justice for the family 1.
