"This book is about what lawyers do in challenging contexts of conflict, authoritarianism,
and the transition from violence. It is also, inevitably, about law, politics, and
the ways in which lawyers engage with both. There is, of course, much academic discussion
on law as an instrument of repression, a means of legitimating authoritarian regimes,
and as a key element of how societies in transition deal with the legacy of a violent
past. Our analysis is naturally informed by such scholarship. However, our primary
focus is upon lawyers as 'real people' working in really difficult circumstances.
To find out more about lawyering was like in such contexts, we conducted over 130
interviews in six sites - Cambodia, Chile, Israel, Palestine, South Africa, and Tunisia
(see further below). We then framed that incredibly rich fieldwork in the sociology
of the legal profession in general and cause-lawyering scholarship in particular to
better understand the strategies, tactics, actions, and lived experiences of lawyers
in these pressurised environments. In addition, in the individual chapters below,
we also draw eclectically from the literature on professionalism, sociology, political
science, memory studies, transitional justice and a range of other frameworks in order
to try to better understand and explain the experiences of those 'real lawyers' we
interviewed"
