From top to bottom – a shocking and hilarious journey through the legal profession unlike anything seen before.

Straight from the bowels of back street police stations, locked psychiatric wards and the criminal courts, these are the brazen tales of a bare-knuckle barrister.

“For those who think that all barristers are high flyers blessed with fabulous incomes and sophisticated lives, this book will decisively re-inform you. It will dispel any myth that those we trust to steer the ship are any less maladjusted than the clients they represent.

Unapologetically rude and irreverent, welcome to the real world of criminal barristers; an unruly place where nudity, misappropriation of sex toys and dirty protests are not just for the accused, and where judges’ discomfort brings widespread joy.”

Well written and narrated, informative and at times hilarious. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the justice system-or lack of-or just for fun

Excellent

Very funny and so true to life and brutally honest. Shame the narrator cannot pronounce ‘clerks’ or ‘gunwale’ properly

Funny and v insightful

A realistic account of life at the criminal bar but there was a real danger incongruity between the story and who they had chosen to read the story. The story was the life of a womanising, hard drinking criminal hack type, yet the person chosen to read it was not the author but someone who sounded like a children’s presenter. It just felt a little odd and took away from the story.

Good storey marred by odd choice of narrator
