About the book
Representing Radicals helps lawyers understand ways to work with radical defendants, with an explicit focus on how to help them achieve ends that go beyond traditional legal goals. For example, many radical defendants want to use their trials to discuss political issues even if doing so could lead to a conviction when a standard criminal defence might lead to an acquittal. Understanding radical defendants' goals and political priorities is a crucial part of providing them with the most robust criminal defence while helping them strengthen and defend their social movements.
