Bibliographies
To help educate the public about the civil right to counsel, the NCCRC has gathered and organized a collection of related articles, studies, reports, case documents, and more in our bibliographies.
Introductory Bibliography
Did you know that the U.S. Supreme Court isn’t friendly to the concept of a right to counsel in civil cases – even critical ones like the termination of parental rights? If you’re new to civil right to counsel, we encourage you to look through the introductory bibliography, where we’ve handpicked essential cases, model acts and resolutions, law review articles, reports, and other writings that help to explain the concept of a civil right to counsel and its history in the United States. The introductory bibliography is categorized by resource type.
Comprehensive Bibliography
Did you know the U.S. ranked 116th out of 142 countries in the World Justice Project’s 2023 Rule of Law Index for “accessibility and affordability of civil justice?” To learn more about this and for a more extensive collection of civil right to counsel-related resources, check out our comprehensive bibliography. This immense repository contains all related writings, studies, treaties, case documents, and other resources. The bibliography is searchable, sorted by subject area, and then by resource type.
