GREAT FOR BAR SCHOOL AND SHOULD BE COMPULSORY READING FOR ALL COURT ADVOCATES

An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers

Well, he’s done it again with this superb third expanded version and, at double the length (but not cost) the book reminds us all how brilliant Sweet & Maxwell are at spotting and producing these special legal friends for the jobbing advocate.

And how advocacy has changed! It is 10 years since the birth of Iain’s work which took many of us by storm for its originality. At the time I wrote that it showed one how to be seriously good in Court taking the author’s original subtitle.

And it remains the book of my dreams and a Titanic of the advocacy world (and you can see what film I was watching at the time) because the advice given avoids all the ice bergs and glacial stares from the Bench!

The little book is bigger now at over 400 pages but still modestly sized and very easy to read and digest with plenty of space for you to add your own personal tips about advocacy style.

Iain’s writing style, enthusiasm and approach continues to bridge the gap between reading about the art of advocacy and actually how you do it in a court room. I have revised my view about the warm welcome I gave the original edition just to say on reflection that it should be in every wig box and not just that of the white wig!

Thank you Iain and keep up the good work.
