With the Law on Our Side

Brenda Hale

Our laws and justice system are vast and ancient: they might touch our lives when we have an accident, a wrong is done to us, or we have a family difficulty. And they cover everything from the personal to the regulation of our government. Lady Hale - former President of the Supreme Court and an inspirational figure admired for her historic achievements and for the causes she has championed - shows us how the law is on our side. Taking us into the complexities of real courts and real decisions, we see that we all have rights. Here are true stories from every part of the justice system, from lowly benefits tribunals and magistrates' courts to the lofty heights of the Royal Courts of Justice and the Old Bailey; stories about the dilemmas of deciding what is right and just, which invite you to say where justice lies before knowing what the courts decided.
