CASES IN COURT is a personal account of his most memorable trials by a great British barrister whose name was world-famous. In all of the cases described he played a leading part. Here, as he writes in his preface, are “pictures of the litigants themselves: just ordinary human beings seeking redress against their wrongs, real or imaginary; men and women struggling to protect their reputations and perhaps their lives.” There are five notorious murder trials, including “The Case of the Blazing Car”, “The Case of the Hooded Man”, and the extraordinary case of Mrs. Barney; six trials for libel or slander, including the action brought by a Russian Princess against a film corporation, “The Case of the Three Sisters”, “The Case of the Illuminating Dot”, and “The Case of the Talking Mongoose”; and ten other miscellaneous cases that were headlined in their day. At the end of the book the author briefly discusses good and bad advocacy, and answers some interesting questions that are often asked about a barrister’s profession.
