Making Social Security Law

Presenting a unique and timely insight into an area of law making which previously has not been exposed to public scrutiny, this volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the role and work of the Social Security and Child Support Commissioners in the development of social security law. It draws on an empirical socio-legal study funded by the Nuffield Foundation to offer an important basis for policy and theoretical reviews of the government's tribunal reform agenda. This is the definitive study of an important area of law making and as such will be a valuable resource for policy makers, academics and researchers with an interest in socio-legal studies and administrative justice.
