Description

Lawyers for the poor explores the development of legal advice and aid provision in England between 1890 and 1990. It is the first book-length study to place legal advice provision in the wider context of English civil society and the welfare state, and demonstrates how the expansion of access to legal advice was shaped by changing ideas of what it meant to be a citizen. This book examines the development of legal aid from its origins in the after-hours ‘Poor Man’s Lawyer’ voluntary work of individual lawyers in late Victorian London, through to the state-subsidised legal aid schemes of post-war Britain. It considers how affordable access to help with legal matters came to be seen as a right for all, and how charities, the main political parties, the trade unions and the media were all involved in trying to achieve this by the 1940s. The book also reveals the problems and advantages of offering legal advice services as part of the welfare state after 1949, and the ongoing concerns about using public money on private troubles – issues which remain unresolved in the twenty-first century. Lawyers for the poor will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners in welfare, citizenship, politics, social policy and voluntary action in twentieth-century Britain.
