Editorial Reviews

Review

`This is a well-written book which combines a comprehensive vision of reform with immensely detailed empirical research, of interest to anyone concerned with methods of increasing access to justice.' Emily Henderson The Cambridge Law Journal July 2000 Vol.59 Pt2

`Parker's valuable book proposes a model for the regulation and organization of lawyers guided by the fundamental democratic ideal of access to justice ... Her practical model for improving access to justice, incorporates lawyers' justice, but goes beyond it ... The argument by which she outs forward her model is long and intricate ... and brings in deliberative democratic theory and a considerable body of law and society research.' David Wood, Journal of Law and Society Vol 27 No 3 2000
