An innovative collaboration between academics, practitioners,
activists and artists, this timely and provocative book rewrites 16
significant Scots law cases, spanning a range of substantive
topics, from a feminist perspective. Exposing power, politics and
partiality, feminist judges provide alternative accounts that bring
gender equity concerns to the fore, whilst remaining bound by the
facts and legal authorities encountered by the original court.
Paying particular attention to Scotland's distinctive national
identity, fluctuating experiences of political sovereignty, and
unique legal traditions and institutions, this book contributes in
a distinctive register to the emerging dialogue amongst feminist
judgment projects across the globe. Its judgments address concerns
not only about gender equality, but also about the interplay
between gender, class, national identity and citizenship in
contemporary Scotland. The book also showcases unique contributions
from leading artists which, provoked by the enterprise of feminist
judging, or by individual cases, offer a visceral and affective
engagement with the legal. The book will be of interest to
academics, practitioners and students of Scots law, policy-makers,
as well as to scholars of feminist and critical theory, and law and
gender, internationally.
