This is the first book to give social workers the tools to understand their clients’ legal needs and rights and to address them collaboratively and effectively. The authors ground their text in a comprehensive grasp of the legal system and the inequities of race, class, and gender that shape clients’ experiences. Social Work Practice and the Law is a powerful call for social workers to be passionate and skillful advocates for their clients. Essential reading for social workers and lawyers alike who serve low-income people entangled in systems that so often fail them.
