by S. Muralidhar has just been published. This book focuses on the importance of the right of access to justice for those interacting with the criminal justice system as complainants, suspects, status offenders or prisoners. |
The law, processes, procedures and practices that govern the functioning of the system are largely incomprehensible to the layperson and, therefore, legal assistance becomes imperative at each state.
