Description

Few have shaped the field of law, both as practitioner and writer, as Michael Beloff KC. This expertly curated collection tracks this impact through his writings and lectures.

In a work divided into four interrelated parts – Advocacy, Judges, History and Sport – each is singly illuminated by the author's own experience and insight reflected in the accompanying illustrations.
