DOWNLOAD EBOOKFamily disputes that are resolved through mediation are cheaper, quicker and, according to academic research, less acrimonious than those that are settled through the courts. Despite these advantages, only some 20 per cent of people who are funded by legal aid for family breakdown cases (excluding those involving domestic violence) currently opt for mediation. Following on from a NAO report on this topic (HCP 256, session 2006-07; ISBN 9780102944525), the Committee's report examines the shortcomings of the current system for referring clients to mediation, and the actions the Legal Services Commission has in train to increase referrals to and take-up of mediation services, to improve the quality of mediation offered, and to strengthen the Commission's oversight of solicitors and mediation providers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 2001. This work has three aims. Firstly, to provide an examination of the history of the disclosure of information in advance of trial in criminal proceedings in England and Wales. This is done with reference to first principles, statutory and case law, and formal and informal practice norms. This examination will set the stage for the discussion of the law and practice of disclosure in England and Wales now in found in Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996, its Code of Practice, and the expanding body of relevant case law, and the Attorney General’s Guidelines on disclosure (2000). Secondly, to provide a detailed discussion of the current law and practice of disclosure in England and Wales by closely examining the case law, statutory provisions and guidelines. Finally, to discuss the way forward. The Government has indicated its provisional views in the Command Paper, The Way Ahead. Various commentators have made suggestions as to how the disclosure regime might be reformed. Their ideas are discussed, and original ideas are presented. It is hoped that the discussion will assist in formulating the necessary reforms to the disclosure regime.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Focusing on family law practitioners, [this book] is a particularly appropriate resource given the unique promise that unbundling holds for family law litigants. In many jurisdictions, self-representation rates are highest in family cases. But, as any family law attorney (or family court litigant) knows, these are the case types that arguably benefit most from attorney involvement. Family issues are among the most sensitive and pressing matters that enter our civil justice system, and the outcomes of these cases can affect entire families for years to come. This important new book provides a crucial step forward in matching individuals with the family law services they need." -- Publisher's website.
