"Subverting the narrative that the legal profession must be austere and controlled, this prescient how to guide addresses the crucial need for holistic, trauma-centred law teaching. It advocates for a healthier, more inclusive profession by identifying strategies to engage, and even encourage, emotions within legal education."-- Publisher's website.
