activism in law

Activism in law refers to actions taken by individuals, groups, or judges to promote social change or uphold justice by interpreting or applying laws in ways that address current issues. It often involves advocating for policies or legal interpretations that advance causes like civil rights, environmental protection, or economic fairness. Legal activism can include campaigning, litigation, or influencing legislation, aiming to shape the law to better reflect societal values and needs. While it can sometimes challenge existing legal norms, its goal remains to improve justice and societal well-being through legal means.
