Description
A Drink at the Bar: A Memoir of Crime, Justice and Overcoming Personal Demons by Graham Boal QC is a revealing memoir that offers a unique insight into the world of law and justice. With a career spanning over thirty years as a criminal barrister and nine years as a judge, Judge Boal shares his experiences in some of the most high-profile cases of his time. From the Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe's trial for conspiracy to murder in 1979 to his role at the Appeal of the Birmingham Six in 1991, Judge Boal's career highlights are both fascinating and thought-provoking. However, it is not just the big cases that make this memoir interesting - it is also the author's candid account of his personal struggles with alcoholism and depression. This memoir provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the law and the pressures of high office on one's personal life and wellbeing. With his unique perspective as both a barrister and a judge, Judge Boal offers a compelling analysis of his professional achievements and personal struggles.
