Law, Society, Policy
Series Editor: Rosie Harding, University of Birmingham
Law, Society, Policy seeks to offer a new outlet for high quality, socio-legal research monographs and edited collections with the potential for policy impact. Cutting across the traditional divides of legal scholarship, this series offers an interdisciplinary, policy engaged approach to socio-legal research which explores law in its social and political contexts with a particular focus on the place of law in everyday life.

Bristol Studies in Law and Social Justice
Series Editors: Alan Bogg, University of Bristol, UK and Virginia Mantouvalou, University College London, UK
Bristol Studies in Law and Social Justice explores the role of law in securing social justice in society and the economy. The focus is on ‘social justice’ as a normative ideal, and the law as a critical tool in influencing (for good or for ill) the social structures that shape people’s lives. The series has a broad jurisdictional coverage, including single-country and comparative studies, as well as studies in international law.

Diverse Voices
Series Editors: Se-shauna Wheatle, Durham University and Jonathan Herring, University of Oxford
As law faculties, academics and students increasingly realise that their reading lists are “pale, male and stale,” the Diverse Voices textbook series gives readers an opportunity to hear voices that have so often been silenced; the voices of black and minority ethnic, women, disabled, LGBTQI, working class and neuro-atypical people.

Perspectives on Law and Access to Justice
Series Editors: Jess Mant, Monash University, Australia and Daniel Newman, Cardiff University, UK
In recent years, there has been an increasing global interest in issues of access to justice and how these issues relate to our increasingly unequal societies.
The concept of ‘access to justice’ (the protection of the law that enables citizens to enforce their rights) is far from new; however, it is often approached from a range of different perspectives, methodologies and disciplines. This new series will provide a home for scholarship which explores issues of access to justice. It will draw connections between research from different disciplines of law, such as civil and criminal law, family law, housing law, immigration law and social welfare law.
