Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Getting started in the law was the hardest part: who you knew mattered more than what you knew, and the old school tie had a long reach. Over the decades that followed, barriers around privilege, gender, race, sexual orientation, and disability were gradually dismantled. Appointment to the bench shifted from quiet recommendations to a transparent, merit-based system. Together, these changes helped shape the justice system we have today. If you want to understand its direction of travel, look at where it has come from. A funny and often uncompromising memoir of a justice system that was once brutal, chaotic, and responsible for many miscarriages of justice
