CRISIS LAWYERING: Effective Legal Advocacy in Emergency Situations

CRISIS LAWYERING: Effective Legal Advocacy in Emergency Situations 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.
