Description
Book SynopsisResident judge Charlie Walden is back, to preside over a new set of criminal cases at Bermondsey Crown Court.
Trade ReviewThe forensic process is examined in a light touch, good-humoured style, which will evoke a constant stream of smiles, and chuckles from nonlawyers and lawyers alike -- Igor Judge * Lord Judge, former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales *
Although the tales are told with a comic light touch, there are critical contemporary issues at play - not least the existential threat to justice from the bureaucratic prophets of 'efficiency' and 'taxpayer value' * ICLR *
Charles is a marvellous character who throughout demonstrates a very grown-up worldliness in having to cope with the antics of those with a far narrower perspective -- David Wurtzel * Counsel Magazine *
great fun to read and full of detailed observation on the ups and downs of court life * Law Gazette *
Funny, intelligent and sometimes moving, the characters who emerge from these tales are brilliantly described and come to life in this most entertaining book -- Joules Barham * Northern Reader *
