"I'm a barrister, a job which requires the skills of a social worker, relationship counsellor, arm-twister, hostage negotiator, named driver, bus fare-provider, accountant, suicide watchman, coffee-supplier, surrogate parent and, on one memorable occasion, whatever the official term is for someone tasked with breaking the news to a prisoner that his girlfriend has been diagnosed with gonorrhoea."

Welcome to the world of the Secret Barrister. These are the stories of life inside the courtroom. They are sometimes funny, often moving, and ultimately life-changing. How can you defend a child-abuser you suspect to be guilty? What do you say to someone sentenced to 10 years who you believe to be innocent? What is the law and why do we need it? And why do they wear those stupid wigs? From the criminals to the lawyers, the victims, witnesses, and officers of the law, here is the best and worst of humanity, all struggling within a broken system which would never be off the front pages if the public knew what it was really like. Both a searing first-hand account of the human cost of the criminal justice system, and a guide to how we got into this mess, The Secret Barrister wants to show you what it's really like and why it really matters.

All Rise

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 6 mai 2018

Achat vérifié

I am not a lawyer. But my husband is, a company law barrister. He has never done any criminal work. We have lots of friends in all branches of the law though, and I am used to being surrounded by legal news and chat. So I thought I had a pretty fair idea of how the criminal law system in England and Wales works in reality rather than simply in theory. I was wrong. Having read this book I am a wiser, and much sadder, woman.

It seems that now, if you look behind the very thin surface veneer of any public service in the UK you find the same things - chaos and Not Enough To Go Round. Why? It is one of the richest countries in the world, and the expectations and sense of entitlements of its citizens cannot exceed the ability of the state to deliver them to the extent that they appear to.

We need more books like this. We need them to be thrust not only into the hands of all politicians, but of teachers too, of all influencers. It's time to get angry!

Stunning exposé

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 30 avril 2018

Achat vérifié

As a non-legal bod I found this brilliantly written exposé of the crisis in UK criminal justice totally compelling. The author develops a conversational style which means an easier read in some of the drier sections, however there aren't many of those. Every single person in this country should care about how our criminal justice system works, or as is currently the case, just doesn't. The chapter on wrongful convictions and how this government has passed legislation which has effectively ensured that receiving state compensation for wrongful conviction is well nigh impossible, shocked me to the core. Perhaps the fall out from the Windrush scandal allied to the spate of non-disclosure dropped cases will empower those within the system to group together and get a few worthy journalists involved to create an unstoppable momentum for change, for that is what is needed. A fantastic book.

Indictment of the collapse of the British criminal law system.

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 10 mai 2018

Achat vérifié

This is a shocking book and a must read. A lot of the criticism arises from the deliberate policies of the most recent two governments to undermine the system by starving it of resources and killing off legal aid, but the problem goes back a long way and this is not ignored. It includes an excellent history of the English criminal law system, much of which was news to me. The vast bulk of trials are conducted by untrained amateurs in the Magistrates Courts. It may be cheap but it is not cheerful. I suspect it was even worse in the past but was cheerfully overlooked as those with political power and clout were rarely negatively affected by it. I would have thought that most of the criticism clearly explained here would offend people from across the political spectrum, but it seems that this is not the case. There is a huge anti-justice lobby, recently concentrated in the Conservative and Liberal parties. Despite the trenchant criticism - intended not only to expose the faults of the system but also to ram home how important it is to society as a whole, I'm not optimistic that anything will change. If it does change this book will have been one of the catalysts.

An impassioned tirade

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 13 août 2018

Achat vérifié

The author here is a practising barrister who hits many bulls-eyes in his/her impassioned tirade about the many deficiencies of the criminal justice system in this country. S/he identifies a depressing litany of extremely disturbing problems that have served to undermine the search for justice. Many of these are the direct result of the iniquitous austerity policies of government.

The Secret Barrister is packed with information and detail and a forceful argument is sustained throughout the book. If this leads to a good deal of ranting, it is because the author feels genuine anger and passion about the problems. I must confess, however, that I was put off by the author's forced humour and his/her fondness for flippant colloquialisms. S/he also seems unable to decide whether the book is intended as a serious contribution to the criminal justice literature, a taster for first year law students or a pot boiler for popular consumption. Though somewhat idiosyncratic, The Secret Barrister is nonetheless firmly based on the author's own experience of working in the criminal courts and on his/her knowledge of the academic writing and research on the subject.

Hard work and some questionable assumptions

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 17 mars 2019

Achat vérifié

Clumsy writing and very hard to read. Some bits were contradictory (e.g. the relative lack of impact of family law to the potential restrictions on family life imposed by criminal law. Surely the loss of access to one’s children through the family courts is no less than that arising from a parents’s imprisonment? His argument that as a nation we are making the transition from a ‘criminal justice system’ to a ‘criminal system’ would benefit from further justification; is the system we have now better or worse than the days in which one could be transported to Australia for relatively low level crimes? I found the book patronising and assumed an unjustifiable ignorance of the criminal justice system, and gave up before the end of the first chapter. Maybe my review is unfair, but flicking through the remaining pages suggests not.
