Friends At The Bar
A Quaker View Of Law, Conflict Resolution, And Legal Reform
BY NANCY BLACK SAGAFI-NEJAD
Brief Description:
George Fox, founder of the Religious Society of Friends, admonished his followers against "going to law." In this fascinating, wide-ranging book, a Quaker lawyer explores the relationship between Quakers and the American legal system and discusses Friends' legal ethics. A highly influential group in the United States, both for their spiritual ideals of harmony, equality, and truth-telling, and for their activism on many causes, including abolition and opposition to war, Quakers have had many noteworthy interactions with the law.
