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.

Josie Welsh is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Worcester, and her research interests cover public law, judicial studies and political science.
