Arguments That Work

The essays in this volume reveal and explore litigation strategies and arguments in defense of human rights in familiar cases in Europe and in North America. Among the authors are several experienced litigators from the US and Canada, and from new democracies such as Poland or Russia, who share their insight on the unfolding of constitutional arguments in seminal cases. Their contributions reveal little-known details about famous developments in jurisprudence and advocacy strategies, which often prove instrumental for a more informed understanding of subsequent developments.
