A Book About Lawyers
A Book About Lawyers, by the barrister and author John Cordy Jeaffreson, was written as a companion to his A Book About Doctors. It is a gathering of anecdote and history about the English legal profession, arranged in short chapters across several parts. Jeaffreson begins with the Inns of Court in their old days, when ladies walked their gardens, and moves among judges and advocates, fees and costumes, circuits and courts, famous trials and eccentric personalities. The tone is gossipy and good-humored, and the book offers a lively picture of the bar from the Tudors to the Victorian age. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
