Reviews

`In recent years, governments have been attempting to find ways of facilitating access to justice without directly subsidising legal services. In this excellent collection of essays, the various devices are described, analysed and evaluated. The book will be essential reading for those, policymakers and others, concerned with this important issue.' -- Anthony Ogus, Professor Emeritus, University of Manchester, UK and Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
