Public Secrets of Law is an instructive and insightful read for law
students, lawyers and activists. It reiterates the limitations of
legal research that is focussed on appellate case law, an aspect
law in-action scholars have highlighted, and emphasises the urgent
need for legal scholars and jurists to go beyond it.
