“A “Helping Hand” Not a “Critical Tongue”, 13 June 2020
Item
Identifier: UB-005-01-06-130
Abstract
Baxi concludes with a reflection on the role of the legal scholar and the judge in a "hurting world." He argues that the law should be a "helping hand" to those in "misery," rather than a "critical tongue" that judges and blames the victim. The synopsis captures Baxi’s "jurisprudence of compassion."
