SECRET BARRISTER: NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH (PB)

A hilarious and shocking memoir which charts an outsider's progress down the winding path towards practising at the Bar. By way of the painfully archaic traditions of the Inns of Court, where every meal requires a glass of port and a toast to the monarch, and the Hunger Games-style contest for pupillage (which most don't survive), here is the reality of being a frustrated junior barrister. With a keen eye for the absurd, SB reveals the uncomfortable truths and darkest secrets about life in the criminal courts.
