Edwin Camerons gripping and revealing new book is part memoir and part ode to the law. The book opens at the funeral of Camerons sister Laura when he was just seven. His father was accompanied by prison officials, having been briefly let out of prison for the occasion. This was the young Camerons first exposure to the law
In Justice, Cameron explains and defends the role of the law in South Africas continuing transition. He draws on his own life experience of poverty, of a youth spent in a childrens home, of his differentness and of stigma to illustrate the power and the limitations of the law.
Cameron argues his case that the Constitution offers South Africans our best chance for a just society with personal passion, but also with the insights gained from hard years of judicial experience. Published in the run-on to the national election, Justice comes at a critical time in our country.
