ABSTRACT
Eighteenth century British philosopher John Stuart Mill identies justice as “a name for certain classes of moral rules which concern the essentials of human well-being more nearly, and are therefore of more absolute obligation, than any other rules for the guidance of life” (1863/2001, p. 59). In this vein social justice concerns the essentials of human well-being not just for individuals, but for society more broadly (Capeheart & Milovanovic, 2007). e purpose of this book, Law and Social Justice in Higher Education, is to explore higher education as a setting wherein social justice, the well-being of society, can be furthered. Higher education is also a space where social injustice occurs, as campus actors, persons socialized within an uneven society, mirror injustices within our larger society.
