Description
Poverty Law Policy and Practice 2nd Edition Juliet M. Brodie ISBN 9781543804256
Poverty Law, Policy, and Practice offers a comprehensive and accessible examination of the legal, political, and structural dimensions of poverty in the United States. Organized around a rich blend of history, doctrine, and policy, the casebook explores landmark cases, federal antipoverty programs—including welfare, housing, healthcare, and legal services—and the key theoretical and practical questions they raise.
The book incorporates a wide range of perspectives and texts, including academic debates on the causes of poverty, personal narratives, and excerpts that reflect the lived experiences of poor individuals. It invites students to grapple with the central question of whether poverty stems from individual choices, systemic barriers, or some combination of the two. By the end, readers will have a nuanced understanding of both the legal frameworks and policy trade-offs that shape U.S. antipoverty efforts.
New to the Second Edition:
- Updated analysis of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
- Expanded treatment of the criminalization and decriminalization of poverty
- New content in every chapter, including recent cases, updated data, and timely sources
Professors and students will benefit from:
- Three introductory chapters on poverty data, social welfare policy, and constitutional doctrine, followed by topical chapters that can be easily adapted for courses of varying length and focus—including 2-credit formats
- Coverage of emerging areas such as the intersection of poverty with criminal law, markets, and human rights
- A seasoned author team with over a century of combined teaching and practice experience in poverty law
- Integrated discussion of race, gender, and the historical roots of poverty in America
- Carefully curated content that emphasizes clarity, accessibility, and the effective use of class time
- Each chapter balances theoretical insight, program-specific details, advocacy strategies, and voices of those directly impacted by poverty
This casebook equips students with the tools to critically examine and engage with the legal and policy challenges of poverty in the United States today.

Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
