This incisive book integrates the academic fields of sustainable
production and consumption (SCP) and sustainable supply chain
management (SSCM) as a framework for challenging the current
economic paradigm and addressing the significant ecological and
environmental problems faced by the contemporary business world.
Outlining the growth and progress of consumption in the developed
world, initial chapters explore the numerous problems that have
emerged from the current mode of consuming resources, and how we
might engage in more sustainable consumption practices. The book
goes on to address the historical development of mass production
and the ecological damage caused by an unsustainable linkage
between mass consumption and mass production. Considering the
future of the supply web, it illustrates how SSCM can play a
leading role in the transition towards a more sustainable economic
system if it is able to address contemporary ecological concerns
more effectively. This insightful and optimistic platform for
ecological supply chain management is a rousing call to arms for
business and management scholars hoping to propose innovative
methods of improving the sustainability of consumption, production
and supply webs. It will also benefit the work of business
practitioners and entrepreneurs looking to engage in more
sustainable business operations.
How are poverty and social inequality entrenched through a failing
justice system? In this important book, Jon Robins and Daniel
Newman examine how the lives of people already struggling with
problems with their welfare benefits, jobs, housing and immigration
are made much harder by cuts to legal aid and the failings of our
creaking justice system. Over the course of 12 months, interviews
were carried out on the ground in a range of settings with people
as they were caught up in the justice system, in a range of
settings such as foodbanks in a church hall in a wealthy part of
London; a community centre in a former mining town; a homeless
shelter for rough sleepers in Birmingham; and a destitution service
for asylum seekers in a city on the South coast, as well as in
courts and advice agencies up and down the country. The authors
argue that a failure to access justice all too often represents a
catastrophic step in the life of the person concerned and their
family. This powerful, yet moving, account humanises the hostile
political debates that surround legal aid and reveals what access
to justice really means in Austerity Britain.
This collection provides an innovative and engaging way of
assessing the development of legal profession scholarship and its
potential future development by presenting an analysis of the
‘leading works’ of the discipline. The book was written by
prominent and emerging international scholars in the field, with
each contributor having been invited to select and analyse a work
which has for them shed light on what the legal profession is and
what it does. The chapters explore the effect that the chosen work
has had upon legal profession scholarship as a whole, both within
particular jurisdictions and internationally. Contributors also
reflect upon the likely implications of the leading work on the
future study of and application to the legal profession. They
relate the works to recent and contemporary developments in law and
access to justice, such as the rise of technology, impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic, and issues of funding, to highlight the
interpretative value of such scholarship. Presenting an overview
and introduction to the field of legal profession research, the
collection will be required reading for researchers looking to
study any aspect of the legal profession. It will also prove
compelling for a wide variety of access to justice and justice
system research projects. The book will also appeal to scholars
interested in legal ethics.
This book assesses the role of social justice in legal scholarship
and its potential future development by focusing upon the 'leading
works' of the discipline. The rise of socio-legal studies over
recent decades has led to a more interdisciplinary approach to the
study of law, which prioritises placing law into its wider social
context. Recognising the role that culture, economics and politics
play in the development of law is important in order to fully
understand the position and impact of law in society. Innovative
and written in an engaging way, this collection includes leading
and emerging scholars from across the world. Each contributor has
been invited to select and analyse a 'leading work', a publication
which has for them shed light on the way that law and social
justice are interlinked and has influenced their own understanding,
scholarship, advocacy, and, in some instances, activism. The book
also includes a specially written foreword and afterword, which
critically reflect upon the contributions of the 'leading works' to
consider the role that social justice has played in law and legal
education and the likely future path for social justice in legal
scholarship. This book will be an essential resource for all those
working in the areas of social justice, socio-legal studies and
legal philosophy. It will be of wider interest to the social
sciences more generally.

Will the workplace of the future be overrun by machines and robots? Are the new frontiers of artificial intelligence (AI) on the cusp of dethroning us in efficiency, intelligence and innovative potential? Automation and AI will augment our human world and potential. The winners of the future of work are those that harness the power of machines to their advantage. Human/Machine is the only guide you need to understand the fourth industrial revolution. It sets out a road map to the challenges ahead, but also unlocks the wondrous opportunities that it offers.
Human/Machine explores how we will work symbiotically with machines, detailing how institutions, companies, individuals and education providers will evolve to integrate seamlessly with new technologies. With exclusive case studies, this book offers a glimpse into the future and details how top companies are already thriving on this very special relationship. From gamification in job training to project management teams integrated with bots and predictive technologies that fix problems in the supply chain before they happen, the authors deliver a powerful manifesto for the adoption and celebration of automation and AI. In a much more fluid, skills-based economy, we will all need to prove our worth and future-proof our skills base. This book offers a blueprint to avoid being left behind and unearth the opportunities unique to human-machine partnership ecosystems.
This open access book provides a snapshot of the state of
contemporary access to justice in England and Wales. Legal aid
lawyers provide a critical function in supporting individuals to
address a range of problems. These are problems that commonly
intersect with issues of social justice, including crime,
homelessness, domestic violence, family breakdown and educational
exclusion. However, the past few decades have seen a clear retreat
from the tenets of the welfare state, including, as part of this,
the reduced availability of legal aid. This book examines the
impact of austerity and related policies on those at the coalface
of the legal profession. It documents the current state of the
sector as well as the social and economic factors that make working
in the legal aid profession more challenging than ever before.
Through data collected via the Legal Aid Census 2021, the book is
underpinned by the accounts of over 1000 current and former legal
aid lawyers. These accounts offer a detailed demography and insight
into the financial, cultural and other pressures forcing lawyers to
give up publicly funded work. This book combines a mixture of
quantitative and qualitative analysis, allowing readers a broad
appreciation of trends in the legal aid profession. This book will
equip readers with a thorough knowledge of legal aid lawyers in
England and Wales, and aims to stimulate debate as to the fate of
access to justice and legal aid in the future.

Find out how this Gen Y guy accomplished what few ever can - rising
through the ranks to become CEO, before his 30th birthday. Fresh
out of college, Daniel Newman faced the same challenges of every
Millennial as he launched his career -yet, somehow, he managed to
defy economic conditions and personal challenges, gaining a unique
perspective on his march to the corner office. His ascent to the
top spot at a 67-year-old Chicago company involved a fast-track
MBA, a professorship - and more than one career "gotcha" along the
way. The stories and insights here are a lesson for current and
future leaders, and anyone who wants to know more about the true
potential of the Millennial generation.
What if the next consultant you hired came with an instruction
manual filled with strategies to maximize your end of the
relationship? That's exactly what this pocket guide is - a
practical how-to guide to taking full advantage of what the right
consultant can provide.
This book examines the state of access to criminal justice by
considering the health of the lawyer-client relationship under
legal aid. In the largest study of its kind for some two decades,
ethnographic fieldwork is used to gain a fresh perspective upon the
interaction that lies at the heart of the criminal justice system's
equality of arms. The research produces two contradictory messages;
in interview, lawyers claim a positive relationship with their
clients while, under participant observation, there emerges quite
the opposite. Paying more heed to what was seen than what was said,
it is supposed that these lawyers were able to talk the talk but
not walk the walk. The lawyers treat their clients with wanton
disrespect; making fun of them, talking over them and pushing them
to plead guilty - despite protestations to the contrary. The
evidence is damning for this branch of the legal profession - and
tragic for the clients who depend on them. What is responsible for
this malaise...inadequate financial remuneration? Increased time
pressures? Lapsed ethical training? Whatever the origin, this book
is intended to show the profession that there is a problem - one
that could get worse unless they choose to learn from the mistakes
made by the lawyers in this study.
This book offers insight on access to justice from rural areas in
internationally comparable contexts to highlight the diversity of
experiences within, and across rural areas globally. It looks at
the fundamental questions for people's lives raised by the issue of
access to justice as well as the rule of law. It highlights a range
of social, geographic and cultural issues which impact the way
rural communities experience the justice system throughout the
world with chapters on Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Kenya,
Northern Ireland, South Africa, Syria, Turkey, the USA and Wales.
Each chapter explores three questions: 1. How do people experience
the institutions of justice in rural areas and how does this rural
experience differ to an urban experience? 2. What impact have
changes in policy had on the justice system in rural areas, and
have rural and urban areas been affected in different ways? 3. What
impact does the law have on people's lives in rural areas and what
would rural communities like to be better understood about their
experience of the justice system? By bringing in the voices and
experiences of those who are often ignored or side-lined by justice
systems, this book will set out an agenda for ensuring social
justice in legal systems with a focus on protecting marginalised
groups.
