This paper explores the roles and locations of precarious lawyers in social movements and political debates in Egypt. Through a careful examination of the contradictory class locations of contemporary Egyptian lawyers, professionals living through subaltern lives, I examine how lawyers become critical mediators of street politics and legal mobilization for social change. The political street provides one critical infrastructure of claim-making through street politics, the conflicts between people and authorities shaped and expressed in the physical and social space of the street. Courtrooms, on the other hand, provide the legal infrastructure of claim-making by mobilizing the law, a practice often regarded by scholars as inherently different and often oppositional to street politics. In this paper, I argue that lawyers, as subjects embodying both subaltern living and elite legal knowledge, broker a relationship between the legal sphere and the political street, thus blurring their divisions, and enabling claim-making and politics that strategically weds both infrastructures to achieve the purpose of the movement. In this paper, I draw on various movements and political debates in the past decade in Egypt, including the Tiran and Sanafir Islands Case and the Warraq Island Evictions. This paper is based on an 18-months ethnography conducted in courtrooms in different governorates of Egypt.
