The effects of COVID-19 are visited disproportionately on the already
disadvantaged. This important text maps out ways in which those already
disadvantaged have been affected by legal responses to COVID-19.
Contributors tackle issues including virtual trials, adult social care,
racism, tax and spending, education and more. They reflect on the
implications of COVID-19 and express concerns with policy and practice
developments and with the neutral version of the law and the economy
which has taken root. Drawing on diverse resources, this text offers an
account of the damage caused by legal responses to the pandemic and
demonstrates how the future response can be positive and productive.
