This text focuses on the use of political trials during the Southern civil rights & Viet Nam antiwar movements as a way to enhance or discourage social & political change. The local & state officials used the legal system to keep the civil rights activists from attaining their goals. However, the trials of the anti-war movement were not as resistant to the airing of pertinent issues. The author analyzes the pluralist & Marxist approaches to the study of law & protest.
