Access to Justice among the Rural Poor in Minnesota and Wisconsin

题目：农村贫困人口诉诸司法贫困人口往往无法获得法律服务。民事法律援助为穷人提供一些法律服务，但通常不足以满足他们的法律需求。此外，这些人可能不寻求诉诸司法，因为他们可能不知道他们的争端在本质上是合法的，或者因为他们不知道他们可以获得法律帮助。本项目对明尼苏达州北部和威斯康辛州的农村贫困人口进行人种学研究，旨在研究这些人对诉诸司法的观念，并了解为什么这些人通常不寻求法律服务。通过对农村贫困问题采取广泛的跨学科方法，该项目从法律和社会的角度解决法律动员的理论问题，以及法律宣传和法律动员的社会法律研究。该项目将在明尼苏达州和威斯康星州农村贫困人口的独特背景下探索贫困、倡导和政策的复杂交集。方法方法包括观察、档案和法律分析以及访谈。这种持续、多地点和多样化的方法方法将对农村诉诸司法的机会进行严格和比较的审议。

Title: Access to Justice Among the Rural PoorIndividuals who are poor often do not have access to legal services. Civil legal aid provides some legal services to poor individuals, but usually not enough to meet their legal needs. As well, these individuals may not seek access to justice because may not be aware that their disputes are legal in nature, or because they are not aware they may have access to legal help. This project engages in an ethnographic study of the rural poor in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, as it seeks to examine this population's conceptions of access to justice, and to understand why these individuals usually do not pursue legal services. By engaging in a broad range of interdisciplinary approaches on rural poverty, this project addresses theoretical issues on legal mobilization from the perspective of law and society as well as socio-legal studies of legal advocacy and legal mobilization. The project will explore the complex intersections of poverty, advocacy, and policy in the distinct context of the rural poor in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Methodological approaches include observation, archival and legal analyses, and interviews. This sustained, multi-sited and diverse methodological approach will provide a rigorous and comparative consideration of rural access to justice.
