Geoffrey Robertson QC has been at the centre of internationally high-profile legal cases for over three decades. From representing Princess Diana to Salman Rushdie, to his involvement in the celebrated criminal trials of Oz magazine and Gay News, Robertson is an unfailing champion of human rights, justice, freedom and democracy. In this captivating memoir, Robertson reveals what draws him to each case, his ingenious analysis and interpretation of the courtroom proceedings, and the legal and civic consequences - wrapping each case into a thrilling, rollercoaster sequence of events.

Entertaining, scandalous and hugely insightful, The Justice Game provides a piercing behind-the-scenes look into courtroom cases, the practice of the law and the never-ending fight in striving to narrow the gap between the law and justice. A highly recommended read for those interested in current affairs, criminal and public law, legal history and the British legal system.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful look at the justice game.

I was familiar with Geoffrey Robertson from his entertaining and thoughtful "Hypotheticals" series on Australian TV, and this book did not disappoint. His revelations about the justice system not only in Great Britain, but in many other parts of the world which inherited its legal system, are well worth the read.

Unlike some more contemporary legal writers/bloggers like the Secret barrister the author did not enter the legal profession via the traditional path. Robertson is an Australian who came to Britain as a Rhodes Scholar and dabbled in journalism before becoming a barrister. Coming from Australia he was in a position to identify the absurdities of the English legal system, like the requirement to eat a set number of dinners at one of the inns of court. What?? Very readable accounts of the Oz trial, the case of John Stonehouse, Neil Hamilton's downfall to name just three. The only flaw in this book is its age so some of the content will be dated but apart from that one can expect to learn a great deal about law from the accouns of the various trials. Robertson has a refreshing absence of ego. One final note, an interesting cast of characters appears in the book, such as Jonathan Dimbleby who was writing for the New Statesman in the early 70s; readers might see Anna Wintour in a totally different light. The book also provides some interesting social and cultural history. It's not too heavy or academic and would even make a good book for the beach. Very enjoyable.

A fascinating insight into the British legal system. The dictionary function was often needed but that did not detract from the vignettes. A very good book for any aspiring lawyer, or as a reminder of the obligations for those in the professional already.
