By Harris Brian

The Literature of the Law looks at the ingenuity and passion with which judges have approached the problem of bad laws, but does not hesitate to depict their less meritorious moments, such as the unwise remarks of a controversial Lord Chief Justice on the subject of crime and punishment and the over-speaking judge whose judgement had to be reversed by Lord Denning.

It also paints an intriguing and sometimes humorous picture of the lawyers life, in and out of court, with carefully chosen examples of the different styles of advocacy, ranging from the eighteenth century impeachment of a Governor-General of India to the impassioned \\\'Attorney for the Damned\\\'.

The Literature of the Law will be a fascinating read for Lawyers, legal students and all those interested in the English and American legal systems. The text is finished with delightful line drawings of legal London.
