  2. Outline • Why a Life Course Perspective? • What is a Life Course Perspective? • Applications to Access to Justice Research • How to Proceed

  3. Why a Life Course Perspective? • Access to justice “crisis”? • Need for a “culture shift”? • Need for more high quality empirical research on A2J • Unmet legal needs research provides a point-in- time snapshot • Life course perspective would help understand access problems over time

  4. What is a Life Course Perspective? • History of life course perspective • Trajectories, transitions, turning points • Lives and historical times, timing of lives, linked lives, human agency

  5. Applications to A2J Research • Trajectories of frequent users (or avoiders) of the legal system • How do previous experiences affect later responses? • Some areas of A2J focus already implicitly raise life course ideas: e.g. Elder law

  6. How to Proceed • Draw from existing unmet legal needs research • Build on existing “biographical” work – e.g. The Common Place of Law • Explore existing cohort studies for any clues about justiciable problems • Prospective, longitudinal studies
