Description
Sarat and Scheingold's book, Cause Lawyering, the first volume of its kind, coined the term for law as practiced by the politically motivated and those devoted to moral activism.
The new collection examines cause lawyering in the global context, exploring the ways in which it is influencing and being influenced by the disaggregation of state power associated with democratization, and how democratization empowers lawyers who want to effect change.
New configurations of state power create opportunities for altering the political and social status quo.
Cause lawyers are developing transnational networks to exploit these global opportunities, and to help strengthen international norms on issues such as human rights.
The fifteen essays will focus on different national settings including South Africa, Israel, the U.K. and Latin America.
