Jennifer Laurin in honor of the launch of Michael Tigar’s book,
Sensing Injustice: A Lawyer’s Life in the Battle for Change
“How can I convey to you the experience of reading Michael’s book? Well, there are the basic attributes: Some 500 pages . . . 17 chapters, which begin chronologically with the early years of Michael’s life, and then shift to being organized thematically according to the immense range of legal issues on which Michael has labored over his career – challenging the surveillance state, representation of draft resisters, criminal defense work challenging instances of prosecutorial overreach, litigating government regulation and prosecution of speech, challenging the government’s use of the death penalty, and pressing the envelope of international human rights law in the U.S. and abroad.
