Court Number One: The Old Bailey Trials that Defined Modern Britain by Thomas Grant

4.0

There were negatives. I wasn’t always convinced by the authors choice of cases that took place in the number one court over the last century, and the preambles to the cases were often overly long and not always relevant. It was however strangely addictive, and a policy of selectivity made it an interesting read. I loved the fact that he constantly referred to Queen’s Council colloquially as ‘silks’.
