Is the law neutral, and does it serve us all equally? The Scottish Feminist Judgements Project attempts to answer these questions. Legal academics and practitioners got together to re-write historical cases through a gendered lens. In their re-writing, the feminist judges could only use tools - laws, evidence, and social understanding of the world - that could have been accessed by the original judge and jury at the time of the original judgement.

Scottish Feminist Judgments Podcast Episode 2: Ruxton v Lang - the importance of perspective
<p>In 1998, Fiona Lang was charged under the Road Traffic Act of being in charge of a motor vehicle while over the limit: drink driving. Fiona pled the defence of necessity, saying she was fleeing in fear for her life. The sheriff dismissed her plea, discounting the evidence that Fiona provided to support her claim.
