Access to Justice project publishes its book of strategies

Middle Income Access to Justice (Michael Trebilcock, Anthony Duggan and Lorne Sossin, eds.), the pinnacle of a multi-year and innovative initiative launched at the law school, is now available. The book, published by University of Toronto Press, is the culmination of the ideas, strategies and concrete solutions emanating from the Faculty of Law’s 2011 Access to Justice colloquium.

The event, with keynote speaker SCC Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, focused on the three hot-topic areas of family, consumer/debtor-creditor and employment law. It tapped into the brightest legal minds in the academy, profession and legal organizations across Canada, the US and overseas to effect change in the legal landscape for Canadians caught in the middle—too rich to receive public legal aid, not rich enough to afford legal fees.
