Revue de presse :

Eighteen morally concerned authors . . . [whose] prose in these pages often soars to the lyrical. --Colman McCarthy, The Washington Post Book World

"A searing inquiry into the nature of our experience of justice, injustice, law, and outlaw." --Boston Magazine

"The host of questions directly and implicitly raised in [Outside the Law] is astounding. . . . This book is an extraordinary creation, sorely needed, and will keep readers, who, like Job, desperately want to know 'why?' questioning and considering a long time." --Tracy Anne Wagers, The Bloomsbury Review

"Some of the pieces are notable for their anguished personal tone, others for their thoughtful examination, poignancy, or objectivity. This carefully edited examination of justice is both a satisfying and an eye-opening read." --Kathleen Hughes, Booklist
