Description
By looking at how a small group of legal professionals managed their 40-years’ tightrope walk between the demands of their profession and the party, Professor Markovits wants to learn what law can, and cannot, achieve under the pressures of a totalitarian state. The evidence is so contradictory that one simple history is not enough to do justice to her many-faceted materials. Instead, Markovits will tell three tales, each describing the same sequence of events.
