ABSTRACT
In her foreword to this important book, Shami Chakrabarti comments on its timeliness given COVID’s exposure and amplification of structural inequalities and injustice and describes herself as ‘almost despairing for the fate of the world’. However, the book clearly inspired her with hope, reminding her of law’s potential to act as a powerful engine for progressive advancement. And, citing Quigley’s (2007: 10) comment that ‘justice is a counter-cultural value in our legal profession’, Faith Gordon and Daniel Newman explain that one motivation for the book was their concern about how often law school erodes students’ interest in social justice.
