In Lawyers and Social Movements, Scott L. Cummings explores the role of lawyers in social movements at a moment in which that role has taken center stage in American legal theory and practice. This book is a comprehensive analysis of how lawyers mobilize law to advance movement goals and what impact they have within liberal democracy. Cumimings' central contribution is to show how lawyers act as allies-and sometimes leaders-in struggles for transformative and enduring democratic change.
