The Law and the Poor by Sir Edward Abbott Parry
"The Law and the Poor" by Sir Edward Abbott Parry is an analytical examination of the legal system's treatment of the poor, written in the early 20th century. The text explores the historical evolution of legal practices affecting the impoverished classes, focusing on themes of injustice, social inequality, and the fallacies of contemporary legal protections. Parry draws on his own experiences in County Courts to illuminate the systemic flaws and the needfor reform aimed at the disadvantaged. The opening of the work lays the groundwork by emphasizing the significant divide between the rich and poor within the legal framework. Parry introduces the reader to his motivations for discussing this subject, tracing back to historical injustices and the evolution of laws that continue to burden the impoverished. He critiques the existing systems that perpetuate inequality, highlighting the legacy of past laws and their impact on present-day society. Parry sets the stage for a deeper exploration of various aspects of law relevant to the poor, encouraging readers to reconsider their perceptions of justice and the practical implications of existing legal practices.
