  • Marginalized communities and access to justice
    Marginalized communities and access to justice is a comparative study of the imperatives and constraints of access for a number of marginalized communities. A central feature of the rule of law is ... the equality of all before the law. As an aspect of this equality, all persons have the right to the protection of their rights by the state, particularly the judiciary. These studies - by internationally renowned scholars and practitioners - examine the role of courts and similar bodies in administering the laws that relate to the entitlements of marginalized communities, and address individuals' and organisations' access to institutions of justice: primarily, but not exclusively, courts. They raise broad questions about the commitment of the state to law and human rights as the principal framework for policy and executive authority, as well as the impetus to law reform through litigation. Offering insights into the difficulties of enforcing, and indeed into issues of the will to enforce, the law this book thus explores fundamental questions about the value of engagement with the formal legal system for marginalized communities.
