This comprehensive Research Handbook surveys the landscape of civil justice through a global and interdisciplinary lens. World-leading experts provide insight on law''s shortcomings, the gap between aspiration and achievement, and the unmet needs of those who have been failed by the legal system as well as a hopeful vision for attaining justice.
Chapters illustrate that the civil justice system is not a single entity but a multifaceted network of institutions and practices. They explore how civil justice is both a highly diverse and dynamic enterprise but also a broader social justice objective aimed at understanding, addressing and expanding the capacities of institutions to address civil wrongs. Presenting distinct perspectives on the field, contributors discuss theories and methods for studying civil justice and identify key avenues for future research.
The Research Handbook on Civil Justice is an essential resource for scholars of comparative law, law and society, as well as the law of obligations. It is also beneficial for civil justice practitioners, policymakers, and foundation and trade associations interested in civil justice.
