Title: Cause Lawyering: How Cause Lawyering Has Been Implemented And What Changes Need to Occur To Keep It Relevant In The Future
Abstract:
This paper is broken down into several parts to demonstrate what improvements need to be made to the practice of cause lawyering. The first section of this essay will show the important characteristics of two different type of lawyers: the traditional lawyer or regnant lawyer and the cause lawyer. The second section of this essay will summarise a number of case studies to show current themes in poverty and cause lawyering. These case studies will be from the point of view of lawyers, community organisers and organisations so give a broad overview of current developments in the field. The third section of this essay will examine the case studies to show where improvements need to be made in cause lawyering. These suggestions will come out of critiques based on both the cause lawyering model and the traditional lawyering model. The final section will show how these criticisms can be addressed through a new type of collective cause lawyering.
