This book is intended to serve as a companion volume to Lawyers, Law, and Social Change, first published in 2001, followed by a second edition in 2012. The article which generated Lawyers, Law, and Social Change was first written in 1984; it observed that "...the organizing Right has all but cut the legs out from under those who might try to reform anything through the courts. ... The court decisions which progressives have not enjoyed in the recent past are likely to get worse in the near if not extended future." Time seems to have given proof to these observations. This volume turns its focus from lawyers as potential social change actors to the judges who have may have replaced them.
