Özet

THE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Could the courts really order the death of your innocent baby? Was there an illegal immigrant who couldn't be deported because he had a pet cat? Are unelected judges truly enemies of the people?

Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all. But the law touches every area of our lives: from intimate family matters to the biggest issues in our society.

Our unfamiliarity is dangerous because it makes us vulnerable to media spin, political lies and the kind of misinformation that frequently comes from loud-mouthed amateurs and those with vested interests. This 'fake law' allows the powerful and the ignorant to corrupt justice without our knowledge – worse, we risk letting them make us complicit.

Thankfully, the Secret Barrister is back to reveal the stupidity, malice and incompetence behind many of the biggest legal stories of recent years. In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds a defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy that is as entertaining as it is vital.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Well written, both punchy and providing concise explanations of complex laws . . . a powerful polemic that also acts as a primer about our legal rights (Rosamund Urwin)
The Secret Barrister mounts a powerful defence of lawyers and the law from their noisy detractors . . . this is an urgent and highly readable book. You will come away from it feeling that your mind has been purged (Thomas Grant)
Fake Law is a compelling, eye-opening read and should act as a wake-up call for anyone with an interest in how the law, and, by extension, society and justice function – that is to say, every one of us. (Huston Gilmore)
The authority of this author is in the sheer quality of the writing. To keep up to this standard in tweet after tweet, blogpost after blogpost, and now book after book is remarkable – especially if, as the author tells us, they do all this in addition to a busy and stressful criminal practice
I enjoyed reading this book. It is well-written and informative and the SB is right to lament the levels of public ignorance about the way the system works. (Philip Johnston)
This is not the easiest book you will read this summer. But it will be one of the most educational and alarming
A defence of the legal system and exposé of agenda-driven politicians, click-hungry tabloid editors and powerful corporate interests who persuade us that the system is stacked in favour of criminals and the undeserving. In fact, the resulting changes to the law mean our own rights – for example, to legal aid – are being quietly eroded
A much-needed book that looks at some of the biggest myths behind the legal system. Fans of the Secret Barrister will be pleased with the latest instalment, which offers well-written insight, making difficult-to-understand laws clearer with interesting and current case studies. (Megan Baynes)
The anonymous campaigning lawyer returns with a myth-busting new book that takes on the many detractors of the law and legal profession.

Once again another triumph from the secret Barister!

Very well read, with pockets of light heartedness to break up the compelling and damning narrative

Some duplication with the first book with some themes repeated but set out more thoroughly here I think.

Excellent and concise

If any book deserves 5 stars this is it. Read, mark learn and internally digest this material.

I personally think it should be a study text in school and will be recommending to my child's school


simply thank you Secret Barrister & your long suffering significant other.

This book should be read (or listened to on Audible) by anyone who has ever been outraged by a sensationalist headline or news report in the papers, TV, radio, or online. (Basically, all of us). I cannot recommend it enough. It has challenged a lot of my own preconceived ideas about the UK justice system - and I’m a practicing lawyer. It highlights the need for more legal education to be made accessible to all and the case for understanding why the law and access to justice for all matters.

A very informative and challenging book

Outstanding

Very well written, accurate and witty discussions of fundamentally important topics. The Secret Barrister’s books should be on the UK’s school curriculum. A very thought provoking and enjoyable read.

A must read!
