Sir Rabinder Singh has been one of the leading lights in the recent
development of the common law, most notably in the field of human rights
and the law of privacy. Here, for the first time, he reflects on the
defining themes of his career as advocate and judge.
Combining his trademark originality of thought and impeccable
scholarship, he selects previously published and unpublished writings to
track the evolution of his approach to the common law. A substantial
introduction gives context to the book, while opening introductions to
each piece reflect on their relevance to contemporary legal thought.
The essays explore themes as diverse as judicial review, equality, and
privacy and personal autonomy. Insightful, erudite, and
thought-provoking, this collection is a must read for all those
interested in the law and its role in society.
