Abstract
Since access to justice scholarship has gradually become a more multifaceted, international and empirical endeavour, this special issue illustrates a broader scope of contemporary access to justice research from a multi-disciplinary and socio-legal perspective. The issue gathers contributions from European and US scholars, representing different disciplinary backgrounds, such as law, sociology of law, political science, philosophy, social work, and criminology, yet with a common interest in access to justice. This includes the study of various contexts (apart from the courts) and actors (apart from lawyers) who make unilateral legally based decisions that have direct consequences for individuals, or in other ways facilitates or hinders access to justice in a (broader) democratic sense. Through its contributions, this special issue identifies and discusses a variety of barriers and facilitators in areas where access to justice is deemed problematic and therefor highly important for policy and practice development.
Dado que los estudios sobre el acceso a la justicia se han convertido gradualmente en una tarea más polifacética, internacional y empírica, este número especial ilustra un ámbito más amplio de la investigación contemporánea sobre el acceso a la justicia desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar y socio-jurídica. El número reúne contribuciones de especialistas europeos y estadounidenses, que representan distintos ámbitos disciplinarios, como el derecho, la sociología del derecho, las ciencias políticas, la filosofía, el trabajo social y la criminología, pero con un interés común por el acceso a la justicia. Esto incluye el estudio de diversos contextos (aparte de los tribunales) y actores (aparte de los abogados) que toman decisiones unilaterales basadas en la ley que tienen consecuencias directas para los individuos, o que de otro modo facilitan o dificultan el acceso a la justicia en un sentido democrático (más amplio). A través de sus contribuciones, este número especial identifica y analiza diversos obstáculos y facilitadores en ámbitos en los que el acceso a la justicia se considera problemático y, por tanto, de gran importancia para el desarrollo de políticas y prácticas.
