A jurisprudential adventure story, Justice in Paradise recounts how commitment to Native rights and an extraordinary passion for rule of have determined course of Clark's life. From childhood in an Indian residential school, to defense of aboriginal rights before World Court, to being disbarred, Bruce Clark's struggle has led him to fight against justice system itself. Justice in Paradise explains legal and philosophical position behind Clark's opposition to Indian rights industry. He argues that North American legal system causes genocide of those indigenous peoples who embrace traditional religion and identity and accuses those who administer it with chicanery and abandoning rule of law. Smeared in media for his beliefs and attacked from bench - he has been called a disgrace to bar by Chief Justice of Canada's Supreme Court - his book Native Liberty, Crown Sovereignty has been hailed as the most important and meticulous recent study of native rights in common law (Canadian Journal of Political Science). Clark turned his back on comfortable lawyer's life to defend rule of and Native rights. He moved with his family to Indian reservations and then to squats while he argued his case before World Court in Europe. Now, no longer able to practice law, he has been adopted by Mohicans and together they are fighting for Liberty Island and Hudson River drainage basin. In his extraordinary memoir, Justice in Paradise, Bruce Clark - hero to some, extremist to others - details battles of renegade's life.
