Essay / Research Paper Abstract
12 pages in length. Some scholars have accused organized interests of "undue influence" in the policy process and, in particular, of using the courts to advance their own narrow interests by way of circumventing the democratic (i.e. parliamentary) policy process. The manner by which the articles in Women's Legal Strategies in Canada address the controversy surrounding the issue of using courts to promote concerns of interest groups and social movements, as well as the evidence presented by the various authors in this collection edited by Radha Jhappan, helps to refute claims of "undue influence" by women's groups in the political and legal process. However, what must be realized is how the issues at hand are viewed as unworthy of acceptance via the traditional democratic process and in need of alternative means by which to be moved forward – such as with gay and lesbian rights, feminism and other female-related social movements – derogatorily branding these interest groups as "equality seekers" who are forced to circumvent an otherwise intolerant, patriarchal and hypocritical society that eschews the freedom inherent to social diversity. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

hypocritical society that eschews the freedom inherent to social diversity (thesis statement). II. BACKGROUND Politics by nature is a difficult game to
play, especially if a desired reform is supported by a fierce interest group with significant power. Attempting to enact policy reform is both an arduous and complicated process by
which change occurs at a slow pace - even slower when the special interest group is supporting change for what many deem an unacceptable and unworthy social issue. The
efforts made by special interest groups help to proliferate highly sought-after policy changes and keep the wheels of reform well oiled, particularly when it comes to hard-line feminist social concerns.
Interest groups, a major part of American society today, are organizations of people who share the same interest and attitudes about a particular
