Description: This work brings together the best of the new research into how law relates to and informs the politics of social movements. Subjects covered include new approaches to group 'legal mobilization' politics; analysis of the judicial impact on social reform struggles; studies of individual legal mobilization in civil disputing and an almost entirely new area of research in 'cause lawyering'.
Review Quotes: '...a worthy contribution, both to the study of law and social movements specifically and to the study of law and society generally.' The Law and Politics Book Review 'The real value of this collection lies in bringing diverse sources together in a single convenient volume and thus allowing the debate over the nature and effectiveness of "legal mobilization" to flourish.' British Journal of Criminology
