"The fact that this author is a barrister shines through in their prose. Concise, and convincing. In summary, you get the legal system you pay for, and justice comes at a premium."

"Amazing book that breaks down the self put rose glasses on how we view justice and criminal law. The author breaks down the system in the UK and all of the different people that go into how it runs. Love the different cases he uses to address this issue and how he takes his own accountability into these issues.<br/>"
