In\xa0Better Law for a Better World: New Approaches to Law Practice and Education\xa0(Routledge, 2021)\xa0I spoke with Dr Liz Curran about the urgent need for innovation in law,\xa0legal practice, and legal education. In her book, she challenges the adversarial and hierarchical\xa0nature of the legal system, to uncover the harms that these\xa0processes and systems\xa0cause by the\xa0failure to recognise the person behind the legal problem. Drawing on both quantitive and\xa0qualitative research, and also her own wealth of experience as a practitioner and educator, Dr Curran offers insights into the way that the legal system fails the most vulnerable. However, the book, is not without hope; it offers\xa0models of better practice, and space for\xa0further research provide the incentive and innovation necessary to create better law for a better world.\nDr Liz Curran\xa0is an Associate Professor in the School of Law at Nottingham Trent University.\xa0\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
