The Last Best Aid? Rethinking Paralegal Assistance

Swenson, G. (2018). The Last Best Aid? Rethinking Paralegal Assistance Political Violence @ a Glance.

Abstract

In an era of ever increasing skepticism towards foreign aid, international paralegal assistance to developing countries is a rare exception. Paralegals have been lauded by the United Nations , the World Bank , and many others as a proven way to promote access to justice, human rights, and the rule of law. Paralegals are also seen as a bargain — funding paralegals costs far less than lawyers.
