A guide to navigating civil litigation with limited resources

Drawing on Claudia Barber’s 35-plus years in law, including service as a judge from 2005 to 2016, this book surveys key stages of civil litigation and offers resources for people with limited finances. It also examines how economic disadvantage can shape access to the legal system and why, in the author’s account, the system does not deliver justice consistently. The scope is an overview rather than a detailed account of every part of a trial, with attention to what people may encounter when bringing or defending a lawsuit.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People considering or involved in a civil lawsuit
  • Readers seeking an overview of litigation stages
  • Those looking for legal-system resources suited to limited financial means

Book overview

The legal system was not designed for the economically disadvantaged. Yet, we ask citizens to use this system every day in spite of its shortcomings. If you have been sued or need to sue to seek legal redress, this book is for you. It will guide you through some of what to expect, and further explain why the system does not render justice every day.

 

Having served as judge from 2005-2016, I better understand the judge's perspective of why the system works for some and not others. It's a chance for me to reflect on my 35 plus years of a legal career and help other people.

 

It is not a detailed story of every aspect of trial. But it is a synopsis of various stages of litigation, and suggested resources to navigate the legal system when financial resources are limited.
