legal activism

Legal activism refers to the proactive use of the law to promote social change or address injustices. It involves advocating for legal reforms, challenging existing laws or policies, and often participating in litigation to shape society's legal landscape. Legal activists seek to uphold principles like equality, rights, and justice, sometimes through landmark court cases or policy initiatives. While they operate within the legal system, their goal is to influence broader societal values and generate progress on issues such as civil rights, environmental protection, or human dignity.
