Through analysis of the policy context, interviews with key players, observation of services provided by lawyers, students, lay support workers and the advice sector, the authors outline the work being done and the skills being used in a range of settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book raises questions not only about access to family justice, but about the role of law in family matters in an increasingly post-legal society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragmentation of the market in the new services offering information, initial advice, online or alternative dispute resolution - but rarely ongoing casework - raises questions about where costs fall and how quality can be assured. Many of these services are forms of private ordering, where outcomes are hard to assess.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf neither the state nor the individual can afford full legal services where the best interests of any child involved are of paramount importance, and lawyers negotiate to make best use of the resources available, perhaps it is time to consider using lawyers differently, with lay support, to solve problems before they become disputes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMavis Maclean CBE was a co-founder of the Oxford Centre for Family Law and Policy, and is currently Senior Associate at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, and Senior Research Fellow, St Hilda's College, University of Oxford.\u003cbr\u003eJohn Eekelaar is Emeritus Fellow of Pembroke College, University of Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 19, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51788821332256,"sku":"9781509945719","price":73.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5819cbb4af8b9dfca145de8fcb56066c.webp?v=1780661068","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/after-the-act-access-to-family-justice-after-laspo-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
