Law and Justice: A Strategy Perspective

The work of HiiL on the law of the future has produced two volumes (The Law of the Future and the Future of Law, Volumes I and II) that bring together 85 think pieces on legal trends in different areas of law and more than 10 interviews with key policy makers, as well as incorporating the outcomes of 15 workshops with different legal and justice actors around the world. The main question that emerged from this comprehensive process was: what can one do with the different legal futures that might come to be, as captured in the collection Law Scenarios to 2030? This question could be rephrased: who stragises? This volume brings you the reflections on this question by a diverse group of thought and practice leaders from different fields and parts of the world. Strategy in the justice sector is not an easy thing. At the same time, the need for coherent strategies seems urgent. This book seeks to be a catalyst for broad discussion on this challenge. It includes chapters by Geert Corstens (President, Dutch Supreme Court), Mark Ellis (Executive Director, International Bar Association), Adama Dieng (Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Genocide), Kimberly Prost (Ombudsperson, Security Council’s 1267 Committee), and Adel Maged (Vice President, Egyptian Court of Cassation).
