The Human Code: Law Through Our Eyes

by Yasmin Atwal

Overview

What if justice wasn't just something courts decided, but something you lived every day?

The Human Code: Law Through Our Eyes gives young readers a clear, engaging understanding of the ideas that shape our world: human rights, justice, responsibilities, and the laws that bind us together. Written in simple language with real-life examples, this book makes big legal concepts easy to understand and even easier to connect to daily life.

From the Nuremberg Trials to the fight for climate justice, from the rights of refugees to the power of youth advocacy, you'll see how law extends beyond the rules and centers around people, choices, and courage.

If you want to better understand the law, or just do your part to stand up for what's right, this book will give you the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to live by the Human Code.
