Drawing on a range of approaches from the social sciences and
humanities, this handbook explores theoretical and empirical
perspectives that address the articulation of law in society, and
the social character of the rule of law. The vast field of
socio-legal studies provides multiple lenses through which law can
be considered. Rather than seeking to define the field of
socio-legal studies, this book takes up the experiences of
researchers within the field. First-hand accounts of socio-legal
research projects allow the reader to engage with diverse
theoretical and methodological approaches within this fluid
interdisciplinary area. The book provides a rich resource for those
interested in deepening their understanding of the variety of
theories and methods available when law is studied in its broadest
social context, as well as setting those within the history of the
socio-legal movement. The chapters consider multiple disciplinary
lenses - including feminism, anthropology and sociology - as well
as a variety of methodologies, including: narrative, visual and
spatial, psychological, economic and epidemiological approaches.
Moreover, these are applied in a range of substantive contexts such
as online hate speech, environmental law, biotechnology, research
in post-conflict situations, race and LGBT+ lawyers. The handbook
brings together younger contributors and some of the best-known
names in the socio-legal field. It offers a fresh perspective on
the past, present and future of sociolegal studies that will appeal
to students and scholars with relevant interests in a range of
subjects, including law, sociology and politics.
How do ordinary people experience and make sense of the informal
justice system? Drawing on original data with British and German
users of Ombudsmen- an important institution of informal justice,
Naomi Creutzfeldt offers a nuanced comparative answer to this
question. In so doing, she takes current debates on procedural
justice and legal consciousness forward. This book explores
consciousness around 'alternatives' to formal legality and asks how
situated assumptions about law and fairness guide people's
understandings of the informal justice system. Creutzfeldt shows
that the everyday relationship that people have with the informal
justice system is shaped by their experiences and expectations of
the formal legal system and its agents. This book is an innovative
theoretical and empirical statement about the future prospects for
informal justice in Europe.

How do ordinary people access justice? This book offers a novel
socio-legal approach to access to justice, alternative dispute
resolution, vulnerability and energy poverty. It poses an access to
justice challenge and rethinks it through a lens that accommodates
all affected people, especially those who are currently falling
through the system. It raises broader questions about alternative
dispute resolution, the need for reform to include more collective
approaches, a stronger recognition of the needs of vulnerable
people, and a stronger emphasis on delivering social justice. The
authors use energy poverty as a site of vulnerability and examine
the barriers to justice facing this excluded group. The book
assembles the findings of an interdisciplinary research project
studying access to justice and its barriers in the UK, Italy,
France, Bulgaria and Spain (Catalonia). In-depth interviews with
regulators, ombuds, energy companies, third-sector organisations
and vulnerable people provide a rich dataset through which to
understand the phenomenon. The book provides theoretical and
empirical insights which shed new light on these issues and sets
out new directions of inquiry for research, policy and practice. It
will be of interest to researchers, students and policymakers
working on access to justice, consumer vulnerability, energy
poverty, and the complex intersection between these fields. The
book includes contributions by Cosmo Graham (UK), Sarah Supino and
Benedetta Voltaggio (Italy), Marine Cornelis (France), Anais Varo
and Enric Bartlett (Catalonia) and Teodora Peneva (Bulgaria).
This is the first systematic comparative study into how consumer
alternative dispute resolution (ADR) systems work, the differing
national architectures within which they operate, and how they can
be improved. It describes ADR schemes in France, Germany,
Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and
the UK, as well as emerging pan-EU dispute resolution schemes. The
use of techniques of mediation, conciliation, and adjudication are
noted. The book also covers EU measures on consumer ADR, and the
2011 proposals for legislation on ADR and online dispute
resolution. Data on volume, cost, and duration of ADR schemes are
compared, both between different systems and with courts. The
findings underpin EU and national developments, and outline options
for future policy. Proposals are included for the functions, scope,
performance, essential requirements, architecture, and operation of
ADR systems. The relationships between ADR, courts, and regulators
are discussed, and the need for reforms are noted. This is a
ground-breaking work that will have a major impact on European
legal systems. (Series: Civil Justice Systems)
