![]() The book continuously points out that the system’s failings come at a steep human cost in the form of miscarriages of justice. ![]() ![]() Tapping on stories from their own first-hand experiences in the criminal justice system, the Secret Barrister also makes a strong case for why its deterioration should concern everyone. The “wild west” of magistrates’ courts the remorseless processing of cases with no regards to the quality of justice the widespread failures by police and prosecutors to disclose key evidence the “perverse” legal aid incentives which discourage proactive, quality defence lawyering – the Secret Barrister blows the whistle on all these failings and more. Written by an anonymous criminal law barrister, it exposes many of the flaws in our criminal justice system and the routine injustices that result. The Secret Barrister’s Stories of the Law and How It’s Broken is a timely, powerful book. ![]()
