In this article the writer explores the challenges of radical queer and trans critiques of law and life in two Finnish law schools. The writer demonstrates how the space of law school exercises power to silence radical queer and trans energies. The article focuses on three specific moments when this power is exercised; when speaking up, dressing up and looking around. The writer argues that this power dynamic is made possible by the ''apolitical'' theories of law and legal expertise according to which a great majority of law schools are still structured.
