Description
In Black and White: A Young Barrister's Story of Race and Class in a Broken Justice System Alexandra Wilson's memoir is a powerful exploration of the complexities of the justice system, as seen through the eyes of a young mixed-race barrister. Her story is one of courage and conviction, as she navigates a world where the rules are often designed by a privileged few. From the tense courtroom scenes to the heart-breaking meetings with teenage clients, Alexandra's account is both shocking and compelling. She reveals the moments of frustration and triumph that make up a young barrister's life, and the difficult choices she faces when defending clients who are often at the mercy of a system that seems designed to fail them. With unflinching honesty, Alexandra shares her experiences as a junior criminal and family law barrister, exposing the uncomfortable truths about race and class that lie at the heart of the justice system.
