The inextricable connection between artistic and legal careers is undeniable. Lawyers have long used artistic means to better convey their ideas and to challenge unjust laws. Meanwhile, many prominent artists integrate the law into their works to advocate against and bring attention to gross injustices.

Similarly, Iranian and Afghan cultures also have a rich history of creative arts practices acting as ‘expressions of justice’.
