About this ebook

From the people who brought you the bestselling Confessions of a GP.

Russell is a young criminal Barrister. It’s his job to defend the people who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law – Petty thieves, career criminals, drug dealers and murderers...

The scary son of a famous footballer, whose violent behaviour has got him in trouble so many times he almost knows the law better than Russell.

The thief of a marital aid, who has a rather unusual defence.

The 27 year old drug addict accused of stealing a push-bike, a chainsaw, a bag full of washing and a small fridge – all at the same time.

And Russell’s first murder case – a young woman accused of murdering her violent boyfriend.

This fascinating insight takes us behind the closed doors of the British legal world. With plenty of drama inside – and outside – of the courtroom, you’ll find out how CCTV can make or break a case, how your Facebook page could land you in jail and why on earth they wear those funny wigs!

It's OK, not quite I expected but still a good read and it does give the reader some idea of what happens in courts. It is almost a game and may the best man (woman) win, the truth runs a poor second to the theatrical show being put on.

A light enjoyable read. A good insight to the workings of the legal system interspersed with humour and seriousness.

Better than i thought, some interesting stories and quite educational on the life of a barrister. A great series of books that are well worth a read!
