Abstract
Although many stages of the client-counsel relationship could be studied (such as the discussions over the Basis of Claim form), this paper, which is based on ideas that have been developed during data collection and analysis for my thesis, aims at highlighting some difficulties and challenges mentioned by the participants about the search for a counsel. More particularly, I am interested in showing how asylum seekers’ and immigration actors’ positions at the intersection of several systems of power (gender, race, social class, etc.) and the different social contexts they are involved in, may have an impact on their search for and securing of a counsel.
