Shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to
responding to and resolving the crises of the twenty-first
century
In an increasingly globalized world, a complex and interlocking
web of nations, governments, non-state actors, laws, and rules
affect human behavior. When crisis hits-whether that be
extrajudicial detention, unprompted deportation, pandemics, or
natural disasters-lawyers are increasingly among the first
responders, equipped with the knowledge necessary to navigate the
regulations of this ever more complex world.
Crisis Lawyering explores this phenomenon and attempts to
identify and define what it means to engage in the practice of law
in crisis situations. In so doing, it hopes to sketch out the
contours of the emerging field of crisis lawyering. Contributors to
this volume explore cases surrounding domestic violence; dealing
with immigrants in detention and banned from travel; policing in
Ferguson, Missouri; the kidnapping of journalists; and climate
change, among other crises. Their analysis not only serves as
guidance to lawyers in such situations, but also helps others who
deal with crises understand those crises-and the role of lawyers in
them-better so that they may respond to them more effectively,
efficiently, collaboratively and creatively.
Crisis Lawyering shines a light on the emerging field of
law dedicated to responding to and resolving the complex crises of
the twenty-first century.
