There are several striking aspects to this publication. The
analysis is refreshingly revealing about the potential for legal
institutions, rules, actors and norms to attune more closely to
inclusion and diversity in a sense well beyond feminism ... This
book brings rightful reflection to the very heart of a legal
system's ability to address life as it is lived, and to explore
potential to break down rather than perpetuate inequalities. --
Margaret L Ross, University of Aberdeen * Edinburgh Law Review

Scottish Feminist Judgments demonstrates the maturity of
feminist judging as a critical legal method ... This Scottish
project, in the honesty and openness of its feminist methods, and
in its willingness to pluralise the feminist languages of law, both
brings us a little closer to feminist legal futures and identifies
some of the blocks that keep us from achieving them. -- Mairead
Enright, University of Birmingham * Social & Legal Studies *
A rich and wide-ranging collection which promotes genuine
reflection on the current state of the legal landscape. It deserves
to be widely read, both within and beyond the academy. -- Arlie
Loughnan, University of Sydney * Journal of Law and Society *
The book represents one output in a very significant project, the
achievements of which are many. The Scottish Feminist Judgments
Project has included exhibitions, a cycle tour, podcasts and
workshops across Scottish universities. It has captivated students,
scholars and practitioners alike and will undoubtedly continue to
inform and inspire well into the future. -- Rachel McPherson,
University of Glasgow * Modern Law Review *
This is a worthy collection that deserves to be centred in legal
education and practice ... It has created a space to reimagine what
law might be. -- Lynsey Mitchell * Juridical Review *
