This work concentrates on the legal implications of a client being HIV positive or of developing AIDS. It covers all issues which client will need advice on, including disclosing one's status, criminal and civil liability, access to medical records and right to treatment, discrimination and employment issues, arranging financial affairs and living wills, family issues such as custody and guardianship of children, the rights and education of HIV-infected children and access to social services such as housing and welfare benefits. This book takes a practical, non-political, advice-centred approach. It also includes precedents including a living will and power of attorney and is intended as a reference for practitioners.
This report sets out the first independent research into the contracting system for legal help since an exclusive civil contracting system was introduced by the Legal Services Commission in April 2000. There are two basic aims behind this policy: to concentrate funding on providers who are quality assured in order to raise standards (the quality agenda); and to provide a mechanism to control expenditure and delivery of legal services to meet public legal needs (the access agenda). In order to address the shortfall in the range of work categories provided by contracted legal organisations, the term 'tolerance work' refers to the limited amounts of work which the Commission allows contractees to conduct outside their stated specialist legal work categories. This research report into the management of tolerance work gives a useful indicator of any access problems arising within the contracting system, as well as providing an opportunity to discuss where the balance lies between the access/quality agendas, and to test the assumption that specialists, in contracting terms, provide higher levels of quality in legal advice than generalists.
