THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'Eye-opening, damning and hilarious' Tim
Shipman, author of All Out War and Fall Out",I'm a barrister, a job
which requires the skills of a social worker, relationship
counsellor, arm-twister, hostage negotiator, named driver, bus
fare-provider, accountant, suicide watchman, coffee-supplier,
surrogate parent and, on one memorable occasion, whatever the
official term is for someone tasked with breaking the news to a
prisoner that his girlfriend has been diagnosed with
gonorrhoea.",Welcome to the world of the Secret Barrister. These
are the stories of life inside the courtroom. They are sometimes
funny, often moving and ultimately life-changing.How can you defend
a child-abuser you suspect to be guilty? What do you say to someone
sentenced to ten years who you believe to be innocent? What is the
law and why do we need it? And why do they wear those stupid
wigs?From the criminals to the lawyers, the victims, witnesses and
officers of the law, here is the best and worst of humanity, all
struggling within a broken system which would never be off the
front pages if the public knew what it was really like. Both a
searing first-hand account of the human cost of the criminal
justice system, and a guide to how we got into this mess, The
Secret Barrister wants to show you what it's really like and why it
really matters.
