Bringing Down Goliath: How Good Law Can Topple the Powerful
All too often our legal system feels like it only works for people who already have power and privilege, who know how to use the courts to enforce their will and defend their interests.

Jolyon Maugham QC founded The Good Law Project with the belief that the law can also put power in the hands of ordinary people. It has brought a series of landmark cases against a dishonest and increasingly autocratic government and won widespread acclaim in successfully reversing the Prime Minister's unlawful suspension of Parliament. It is now the largest legal campaign group on the UK and has won some of the most important constitutional cases in recent memory. In this empowering book, Jolyon Maugham reveals what has driven his inspiration and purpose, and offers a bold new vision for how the law can work better for all of us in the fight against injustice.

About the Author

Jolyon Maugham is a lawyer, writer and the founder of governance watchdog Good Law Project. At the age of 45 he was described by The Times as 'one of Britain's leading barristers' but only a year later started to wind down his practice in order to start a brand new not-for-profit. Since its inception in 2017, Good Law Project has become the biggest legal campaigning group in the country, has won some of the leading constitutional cases of our times and set the political agenda exposing the government's pandemic sleaze.
