Description
Law in a Time of Crisis by Jonathan Sumption In times of crisis, we turn to the law to set boundaries and make decisions. But what happens when there is no written constitution to guide us? Former Supreme Court Judge Jonathan Sumpton explores this question in his thought-provoking book. Sumpton examines how legal intervention has been used in British crises - past, present, and potential. He considers the uses and abuses of law in politics, from referenda to the rise of nationalisms. This insightful analysis sheds light on the complex relationship between law and politics in times of crisis.
