Unique resource
The Community Law Manual is a unique resource that is:
free

targeted at those least likely to have access to legal services.
Conversation with past and present editors
Together with past and present editors, we will look at the evolution of the Community Law Manual from its early days as a simple ring-bound legal reference, to a comprehensive book over 1000-pages long that is updated and improved.
It is an opportunity to celebrate The Manual, to chart a course into the future, and to discuss the contribution of grassroots publishing to social justice.
