Reviews

“Timely, reflective and rich, a fabulous primer for anyone interested in the many challenges facing Britain’s new government, offering vital ideas and an indispensable resource for policy-makers, lawyers and citizens."" Philippe Sands KC, University College London “Every lawyer who sees the law as a catalyst for change both domestically and internationally should read this book. It is the very best of progressive thought on how the law should promote change now. It is so timely both because of the scale of the problems we face and because there is a new labour government with a real mandate. Written by leading experts in their fields, this is a real blueprint for the future.” Lord Charles Falconer, former Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice ""A compelling collection of innovative ideas that will inspire meaningful debate about Britain's path forward under the new Labour government."" Sarah Sackman MP, Solicitor General “This is an important book that deserves to shape the thinking of Ministers in the new Labour government, as well as the wider climate of ideas in the Labour party.” Patrick Diamond, Queen Mary, University of London
