Series: Routledge Studies in Law, Rights and Justice

This collection explores questions of rights and justice from theoretical and practical perspectives, by examining examples of the process and application of the law. The book brings together leading experts and early career academics to consider the application of rights, the achievability of justice and the methods available within varied legal frameworks to secure this. It offers a distinct approach by drawing contributions from a wide range of intellectual arenas thus breaking down legal silos and highlighting the interplay between different subjects. Authors confront the conceptual challenges of rights and justice, beginning with broad constitutional discussions in international and domestic contexts. The book examines institutions, procedure and matters of rights and justice located in numerous social contexts such as regarding interests in – or the protection of – property and the avoidance of discrimination or the protection of beliefs at work. For the younger generation, such questions are long term and, in many ways, evolving. Each chapter offers fascinating insight to support ongoing reflections on rights and justice in the modern world. The book will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners with interests in human rights, socio-legal studies, areas of law such as family law, criminal law, employment law, as well as access to justice and constitutional justice.

Reviews for Rights and Justice in Theory and Practice: Process and Application in Law

'This book provides a thought-provoking examination of the ever-evolving concepts of rights and justice. It brings together theory with real-world legal challenges, to offer a layered understanding of how justice is pursued—and sometimes denied—in modern society.' Dragana Spencer, University of Greenwich, UK 'During a political period when it is not universally accepted that the concept of human rights should be an essential feature of the legal architecture, this collection represents an important and timely opportunity to explore both the theory, and the practical potential and limits, of human rights legal discourse.' Richard Kirkham, University of Sheffield, UK.
