Tipping the Scales of Justice: Fighting Weight-Based Discrimination by Sondra Solovay, J.D. (Paperback 2000 out-of-print)

Sondra Solovay is the founder of the Fat Legal Advocacy Rights and Education Project (FLARE!). Now retired, she is still widely known and respected as one of the most important lawyers and legal scholars on the subject of fat rights. In her 2000 book, Sondra presents actual cases and the stories behind the legal arguments, showing for the first time the varied and surprising ways that fat has become a courtroom topic. An attorney who focuses on weight-related cases, Sondra Solovay details court attitudes toward weight in relation to employment and discrimination law, child/family law, disability law, civil rights, minorities, public policy, diets and exercise, and much more, while intermingling a personal narrative on major cases and their outcomes.

FLARE is now led by Brandie Solovay, Esq. as a project of Solovay Law. NAAFA and FLARE co-founded the Campaign for Size Freedom in 2023. Learn more about FLARE’s essential work for fat justice at flareproject.org
