Legal Heroes in the Trump Era

Lawyers are trained to work within the system. We're not advocates for revolution. Most of us aren't even comfortable being labeled "activists." But when the rule of law is in peril, as it is like never before, it is our duty to not just practice law, but to protect it.  This book tells the story of 14 "legal heroes" who have responded to the crises of the Trump presidency in innovative and inspiring ways, from advocating for asylum seekers on the southern border, to defending environmental protections in the nation's highest courts.  The creativity and sacrifice in these pages are a guide for anyone who believes in the law as a tool to fight oppression and advance the cause of freedom.
