The United Nations estimates that four billion people worldwide
live outside the protection of the law. These people can be driven
from their land, intimidated by violence, and excluded from
society. This book is about community paralegals - sometimes called
barefoot lawyers - who demystify law and empower people to advocate
for themselves. These paralegals date back to 1950s South Africa
and are active today in many countries, but their role has largely
been ignored by researchers. Community Paralegals and the Pursuit
of Justice is the first book on the subject. Focusing on paralegal
movements in six countries, Vivek Maru, Varun Gauri, and their
coauthors have collected rich, vivid stories of paralegals helping
people to take on injustice, from domestic violence to unlawful
mining to denial of wages. From these stories emerges evidence of
what works and how. The insights in the book will be of immense
value in the global fight for universal justice. This title is also
available as Open Access.
