Nothing But The Truth

The Sunday Times bestseller Full of hilarious and shocking stories, the Secret Barrister`s memoir Nothing But The Truth tracks their transformation from hang `em and flog `em austerity-supporter to celebrated, campaigning, bestselling author. `Masterful, compassionate and hilarious` – Adam Rutherford In a diary that takes us behind the scenes of their middling ambition, Nothing But The Truth 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 mandates 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 brilliant reality of being a frustrated junior barrister. With a keen eye for the absurd and an obsessive fondness for Twitter, SB reveals the uncomfortable truths and darkest secrets about life in our criminal courts.
