N2  - Taking as a case study a drug that caused serious damage across large populations – diethylstilbestrol – this article offers a sociological analysis of legal mobilization by victims. It takes a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, analysing the work done by victims within and on the law; and, on the other, how the law in turn has an impact on victims – their collective and their cause – throughout the different stages of legal procedures. We highlight a constant tension between an individual’s experience of the law, marked by isolation and opacity, and the development of a “DES litigation” which plays a key role in collectivizing and publicizing a public health cause
