Weizman (2015), “Cause Lawyering and Resistance in Israel: The Legal Strategies of Adalah”

Elian Weizman. “Cause Lawyering and Resistance in Israel: The Legal Strategies of Adalah.” Social & Legal Studies, vol. 25, no. 1 (2015): 43-68.

This article examines cause lawyering within Israel’s settler-colonial context through the work of the Palestinian NGO Adalah, highlighting how legal activism operates within liberal democratic institutions to challenge ethnic justice frameworks; it argues that while the law’s capacity for political change is limited, it remains a vital tool for exposing systemic contradictions and advancing resistance amid tensions between submission and subversion.
