"Law and Poverty: Perspectives from South Africa and Beyond" is a
collection of essays by leading South African and international
experts, as well as emerging young scholars. The collection focuses
on key theoretical and strategic questions concerning the
relationship between law and systemic poverty. The essays were
first presented at a colloquium on Law and Poverty organised by the
Stellenbosch Law Faculty, which took place from 29 to 31 May 2011.
The range and richness of the essays illuminate the multifaceted
nature and causes of poverty, as well as the possibility and limits
of law in responding to the social injustice which poverty
represents. By engaging with these questions, the book aims to
deepen critical reflection and debate on law's ability to respond
effectively to social and economic marginalisation. "The
substantive content of law is influenced by how lawyers conceive
and frame cases, by what theories we choose to advance, and what
understanding of the legal process and the scope of judicial review
we offer to the courts. Working on these questions is at best a
modest contribution towards establishing a just society. But, as
the learning, insight, imagination and intellectual daring on
display in this collection of essays reveals, it is a contribution
that should concern all those interested in the interrelationship
between law and social justice." Prof Karl Klare, George J and
Kathleen Waters Matthews Distinguished University Professor,
Northeastern University School of Law The collection was edited by
Sandra Liebenberg, HF Oppenheimer Chair in Human Rights Law at the
University of Stellenbosch Law Faculty, and Geo Quinot, Professor
of Law at Stellenbosch Law Faculty and Editor of the "Stellenbosch
Law Review." Professors Liebenberg and Quinot co-direct a newly
formed research and postgraduate training project on Socio-Economic
Rights and Administrative Justice (SERAJ) based at the Stellenbosch
Law Faculty.
