Rebels of jurisprudence

Abstract

In this book we are analyzing some of the foremost authorities of legal jurisprudence who have described their myriad of experiences covering a spectrum of subject in a frighteningly inimitable style, probably because they are and were self-taught and talented and looked up to no one to shape their writing style. Interestingly, even those great jurists like Lord Denning, Lord Atkins, Justice Oliver Weddell Holmes, Allan Dershowitz, Jonnie Cochran, John Marshall (longest serving Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in history) who have gifted the world with the greatest legal principles ever experienced. If you consider yourself a lawyer who is unafraid of change, a conscience objector who thrives in legal realism and embraces new novel tech solutions, and enjoys thinking outside the box, you just might be a Legal Rebel. For this season [we] have chosen to highlight judges, lawyers and legal professionals who have helped bring about changes to the judicial system,” according to us “Through their work, they’ve established the blueprint for courts to better serve the general public with or without a pandemic. Below is a list of some Legal Rebels along with the reasons they were selected. Perhaps you can put some of their outside-the-box thinking to use in your life. In the flux of life any lawyer is required to think critically on different nuances of the society not within the box but outside it. But you’ll agree with me that lawyers that have come out to think outside the box have been dishonored by some members of the legal fraternity terming them as Rebels. Like many humans believe, we are in a changing society and being conservative is sometimes what many applaud to. However, amidst of the threats, fear and persecution some personnel have come out boldly to criticize, evaluate and juxtapose loopholes, immorality, weaknesses in our legal system thereby opening eyes to a new Generation of litigants thinking outside the box hence contributing to the growth of jurisprudence. In this great book of all times, which is a collection of great icons that I have no doubt contributed inarguably to the development of our Jurisprudence, despite of the fact that some of them untimely met their kismet, they are so memorable and so vibrant. It is an appreciation to some of the legal and non-legal personalities that have given their all to serve the common people. The non-legal personalities have been vibrant in advocating for the rule of law and respect of human rights, it is by no means that we qualified them to be legal generals. Like Margaret Mead put it forward that “Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.”
