*A BBC Radio 4 'Book of the Week'*
?Excellent . . . at once a vicious polemic, a helpful primer and a cringe-inducing account of one barrister's travails' - Telegraph
__________
In this wonderfully honest memoir, the bestselling Secret Barrister charts an outsider's progress down the winding path towards practising at the Bar, taking in the sometimes absurd traditions of the Inns of Court and the Hunger Games-type contest for pupillage, through to the endlessly frustrating experience of being a junior barrister - as a creaking, ailing justice system begins to convince them that something has to change . . .
Addressing questions such as how you become a barrister, why only 1 per cent of those who study law succeed in joining this mysteriously opaque profession, and why a practising barrister might come to feel the need to reveal the lies, secrets, failures and crises at the heart of this world of wigs and gowns, this is the Secret Barrister at their very best.
Full of hilarious, shocking and surprising stories, Nothing But The Truth tracks their transformation from hang ?em and flog ?em, austerity-supporting twenty-something to campaigning, bestselling, reforming author whose writing in defence of the law is celebrated around the globe.
