520    The United Nations estimates that four billion people 
       worldwide live outside the protection of the law. These 
       people can be driven from their land, intimidated by 
       violence, and excluded from society. This book is about 
       community paralegals - sometimes called barefoot lawyers -
       who demystify law and empower people to advocate for 
       themselves. These paralegals date back to 1950s South 
       Africa and are active today in many countries, but their 
       role has largely been ignored by researchers. Community 
       Paralegals and the Pursuit of Justice is the first book on
       the subject. Focusing on paralegal movements in six 
       countries, Vivek Maru, Varun Gauri, and their coauthors 
       have collected rich, vivid stories of paralegals helping 
       people to take on injustice, from domestic violence to 
       unlawful mining to denial of wages. From these stories 
       emerges evidence of what works and how. The insights in 
       the book will be of immense value in the global fight for 
       universal justice. This title is also available as Open 
       Access.
