Written by a woman in the law with compassion, wit and legal know-how, these true life courtroom stories tell it like it is. - Helena Kennedy QC\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah Langford is a barrister. Her job is to stand in court representing the mad and the bad, the vulnerable, the heartbroken and the hopeful. She must become their voice: weave their story around the black and white of the law and tell it to the courtroom. These stories may not make headlines but they will change the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary ways. They are stories which, but for a twist of luck, might have been yours. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith remarkable candour, Sarah describes eleven cases which reveal what goes on in our criminal and family courts: these are tales of domestic fall out, everyday burglary, sexual indiscretion, and children caught up in the law. They are sometimes shocking and they are often heart-stopping. She examines how she feels as she defends the person standing in the dock. She also shows us how our attitudes and actions can shape not only the outcome of a case, but the legal system itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Swan Books, Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784163082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Sarah Langford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45017766658229,"sku":"9781784163082","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6dbfa8a9-22a6-4927-bd3a-daae0ba7eed5.jpg?v=1736832773","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-your-defence-stories-of-life-and-law-9781784163082","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
