Is 'de leemte in de rechtshulp' iets van vroeger? Ja, als met 'leemte' wordt bedoeld dat de advocatuur geen boodschap heeft aan problemen van mensen zonder geld. Maar daar ging het de eerste rechtswinkeliers niet alleen om, zo stelt Mies Westerveld in haar oratie. Rechtshulp was feitelijk een pars pro toto voor rechtvaardigheid. Dat thema is wél tijdloos. Terugkijkend vraagt Westerveld zich af wat de rechtswinkels, de advocatencollectieven en de buro's voor rechtshulp bewoog. Ook is ze benieuwd waar de leemtes in ons huidige rechtssysteem zitten.

While law and development discourse has dealt with international poverty, advocates of poverty reduction usually operate within a nation-state context. This book provides a new framework for the future theoretical development of international poverty law. It also explores specific human rights initiatives that address particular aspects of poverty, including human rights conventions, measures to counter the tendency of intellectual property law to undermine food security, the right to food as framed in UN development documents, and the startlingly important development in South Africa of an alternative vision of constitutional law. The contributors position international poverty law as a legitimate field for multidisciplinary research and dialogue, and open up new arenas for international poverty law to contribute to addressing poverty reduction.

The principle and practice of pro bono, or volunteer legal services for the poor and other marginalized groups, is an increasingly important feature of justice systems around the world. Pro bono initiatives now exist in more than eighty countries - including Colombia, Portugal, Nigeria, and Singapore - and the list keeps growing. Covering the spread of pro bono across five continents, this book provides a unique data set permitting the first-ever comparative analysis of pro bono's growing role in the access to justice movement. The contributors are leading experts from around the world, whose chapters examine both the internal roots of and global influences on pro bono in transnational context. Global Pro Bono explores the dramatically expanding geographical and political reach of pro bono: documenting its essential contribution to bringing more justice to those on the margins, while underscoring its complex and contested meaning in different parts of the world.
