A review by ontheeveofthewettestday
Jeremy Hutchinson's Case Histories: From Lady Chatterley's Lover to Howard Marks by Thomas Grant

funny informative tense slow-paced

5.0

One of my favourite law books I've read!

Not only is it quite humorous in moments, with all the convoluted cases Lord Hutchinson QC got into, but it provides a perspective on several important legal cases of the late 20th century: a sort of glance at the state of society, history and law at the time. I enjoyed the anecdotes, the background explanations of the cases, the transcribed exchanges in court and finally, Jeremy's own statement at the end, as well as some photographs from the times.

Excellent book, would recommend it to anyone interested in criminal law or late 20th century history.
