The readings in this section further explore legal mobilization tactics.

They draw attention to how legal mobilizers devise and implement tactics based on their social positions and relationships, their intended targets, and their com­prehension of the sources of power and normative orders operative in their contexts. When a person takes up legal mobilization, whether on their own or in collaboration, they are capable of producing meanings about law, which can morph with each interaction. Hence, legal mobilization scholarship shows that legal (and rights) meanings are plural and contingent. The elite and marginalized, and the powerful and weak, can all partake in legal mobilization and the meaning-making of law.
