Value and Impact of Strategic Litigation: Fool’s Paradise or Indispensable Weapon?

Currently burgeoning in many parts of the Global South, strategic litigation remains surprisingly unexamined as a tool of social change. In this podcast, three experts engage litigators, practitioners, funders, and others interested in the debate.

Speakers:

  • Noeline Blackwell has been director general of FLAC (Free Legal Advice Centres), an Irish human rights NGO focused on access to justice, since 2005.
  • Brian Kearney-Grieve is program executive for reconciliation and human rights at Atlantic Philanthropies.
  • Gilbert Marcus is a senior counsel practicing at the Johannesburg Bar, with experience litigating in both apartheid and post-independence courts in South Africa.
  • James A. Goldston (Moderator) is executive director of the Open Society Justice Initiative.
