British Legal Reform cover

This book is a manifesto for change that showcases new policy ideas for an incoming Labour government.

Organised by the Society of Labour Lawyers, the Labour Party’s legal think tank, the contributors inspire debate about Britain’s future, exploring a wide range of issues from access to justice to family law reform, housing, employment, EU and trade law, asylum and refugee law, immigration and citizenship, international law and constitutional reform.

This book is a must-have collection of new insights into how a Labour government can renew Britain.

“Every lawyer who sees the law as a catalyst for change both domestically and internationally should read this book. It is the very best of progressive thought on how the law should promote change now. It is so timely both because of the scale of the problems we face and because there is a new labour government with a real mandate. Written by leading experts in their fields, this is a real blueprint for the future.” Lord Charles Falconer, former Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice

"A compelling collection of innovative ideas that will inspire meaningful debate about Britain's path forward under the new Labour government." Sarah Sackman MP, Solicitor General

“This is an important book that deserves to shape the thinking of Ministers in the new Labour government, as well as the wider climate of ideas in the Labour party.” Patrick Diamond, Queen Mary, University of London
