Lady Hale | With the Law on Our Side
Winter 2025
The law underpins everything in our lives, from family difficulties and workplace disputes to the regulation of government itself. And yet for many of us, the justice system feels remote, intimidating, and impenetrable.
In her new book With the Law on Our Side, Lady Hale – the trailblazing former President of the Supreme Court and one of the most admired legal figures of our time – sets out to change that. Through captivating real-life stories drawn from every level of the justice system, she shows us how the law is meant to protect us all: schoolchildren, workers, minorities, patients, and beyond.
This is not just a book about the law, it is a citizen’s handbook, revealing how justice really works and why we should all care about it. Join Lady Hale for an unmissable evening of clarity, insight, and inspiration from the woman who has shaped British legal history.
In conversation with Philippe Sands.
