NLJ this week: When problems come in clusters

39817
Legal problems that come in clusters is the focus of Jon Robins’s NLJ back page this week, and the subject of a book published by Legal Action Group and written by Leeds University law Professor Luke Clements, Clustered injustice and the level green

Clements argues that the realities of life for many people doesn’t fit with the ‘single issue problem’ paradigm so ‘deeply entrenched in our collective legal psyche’.

Robins looks at Clements’ s ideas and discusses why the ‘single issue’ approach ensures the legal system is stacked against the disadvantaged.
