A constructive model of engagement with unjust laws from the ground upThe current political atmosphere would suggest that law is imposed only from above specifically by the chief executive acting upon some sort of perceived populist mandate. In Law from Below Elisabeth Rain Kincaid argues that the theology of the early modern legal theorist and theologian Francisco Suampampamp225aacuterez SJ may be successfully retrieved to provide a constructive model of legal engagement for Christians today. Suampampamp225rezs theology was developed to combat an authoritarian view of law suggesting that communities may work to change law from the ground up as they function within the legal system not just outside it.
