Beyond the Courtroom Résumé

Beyond the Courtroom: A Lawyer's Guide to Campaigning K. Ghose

Lawyers increasingly play a wider role than their individual cases; they seek to influence laws before they are enacted or to involve themselves in campaigns aimed at changing Government policies and practice. But they often lack knowledge about how best to use their legal expertise to make an impact. There is no publication specifically aimed at the 'campaigning lawyer' that gives them the answers to the questions they ask, such as 'how can I change the law to make it better for my clients?' or 'how can my skills be put to best use in a campaigning organisation?'
