{"product_id":"lawyers-in-conflict-and-transition-kieran-mcevoy-9780521664783","title":"Lawyers in Conflict and Transition","description":"Countries undergoing or recovering from conflict and authoritarianism often face profound rule of law challenges. The law on the statute books may be repressive, judicial independence may be compromised, and criminal justice agencies may be captured by powerful interests. How do lawyers working within such settings imagine the law? How do they understand their ethical obligations towards their clients and the rule of law? What factors motivate them to use their legal practice and social capital to challenge repressive power? What challenges and risks can they face if they do so? And when do lawyers facilitate or acquiesce to illegality and injustice? Drawing on over 130 interviews from Cambodia, Chile, Israel, Palestine, South Africa, and Tunisia, this book explores the extent to which theoretical understandings within law and society research on the motivations, strategies, tactics, and experiences of lawyers within democratic states apply to these more challenging environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kieran McEvoy, Louise Mallinder, Anna Bryson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521664780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521664783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.89d","brand":"Kieran McEvoy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962500731135,"sku":"9780521664783","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ea7e634-88c6-48ef-bae3-de4e2733287c.jpg?v=1750651636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lawyers-in-conflict-and-transition-kieran-mcevoy-9780521664783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
