About this deal

Their writing has appeared in such publications as the Guardian, the Times, and Esquire, and their first book, The Secret Barrister, was a Sunday Times best seller. My favourite quote from the book, which neatly sums this up with a comparison to a ‘giant game of Jenga,’ falls at the end of Chapter 8.

The anger of the adult world towards two 10 year old children reached a frenzied pitch which almost led to a public lynching.

He got charged with manslaughter and there was an outcry of support for him, he was only defending what was his.

If everyone read this book, the sales of The Sun, The Mail and more would plummet, and the world would be a better place for it. Not only are the main areas of law covered to give a better understanding to the layman of stories that may have been misconstrued to the public, but clarification is given on how unbalanced legal cuts are to those who truly need legal representation.

It is easy to understand and should be something everyone in the UK, at the very least, should be reading. It’s an uncomfortable reality of the English justice system that not all victims of crime receive justice.

And the general lack of legal education among the British public is easily exploited by persuasive orators for various agendas. The anonymous ‘Secret Barrister’ is back with another hard-hitting and surprisingly emotional roller-coaster ride of a book about exactly what’s going wrong in law. I feel like this is a book I would recommend to people unfamiliar with the law as it has great articulation of key principles.

In Fake Law , the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds an hilarious, alarming and eye-opening defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy.

The fact that this consent is being gained by the dissemination of lies and distortions of fact is abhorrent. I refer to dismay, because this is what I felt upon realising that my group of well-educated, largely liberal, tolerant, engaged and generous friends were so ill-informed as to what the acquittal of this footballer really meant with regards to the honesty of the woman involved and the appropriateness his behaviour. This book should be compulsory reading before anyone is allowed to read, watch or listen to any media coverage of legal proceedings. Yes, the enemy might be winning, the chips are down, the walls breached and all other metaphors and analogies you might come up with; but the rebels are still fighting in, still scoring victories, still causing the bad guys to clench their black-gloved fists and growl about crushing ‘lefty human rights lawyers’ with not a little hint (if you forgive the switch of analogy) of complaining about how they would have got away with it ‘if it wasn’t for those meddling kids’. An informed look at the myths we're forcefed about the operation of the law (it's biased in favour of criminals!Both Apple and Google state that they ensure that only users who have actually downloaded the app can submit a review. Improved general understanding of the system and its workings is essential and education is the key. uk) stoked the fires of abuse which culminated "in a letter marked with a swastika threatening to petrol-bomb his office and kill his children. The author, writing under the pseudonym of The Secret Barrister, is a junior barrister practising criminal law before the courts of England and Wales. Se centra especialmente en los incidentes en los que los políticos de todo el mundo han abusado de las tragedias personales para promover sus intereses personales.
