With the Law on our Side is an entertaining tour of our legal system written by Lady Hale and told through the stories of real people.

The former President of the Supreme Court and author of the memoir Spider Woman Lady Hale takes the reader inside our courts to reveal how the law works in real time.

From everyday tribunals to the lofty heights of the Royal Courts of Justice, we share in the complexity of deciding what is right, feel the drama of our legal system and learn what the law truly is. Ultimately, we see how the law serves everyone – and why we must care about it.

“The Spiderwoman rides again; this time in plain clothes to report on how our legal system protects everyone. With the law under threat from decades of cuts, complacency and political hostility, this accessible, forensic and breathtakingly human exploration may be her most important mission yet.”
