A snappy little book containing facts, jargon, and inside information--all that readers need to know to hold their own among the experts.
David Mitchell is a retired solicitor, former deputy district judge, mediator, etc now doing very little work save occasional lecturing and book writing. The problem is that golf, tennis, squash, cycling, chess and bridge do rather take up available time these days......
Rather a long time in the law has resulted in David's slightly cynical views of the profession but he hopes that the guides to both law and divorce will help give an insight and understanding into what lawyers really do. Each year an avalanche of new law means that the guides are now arguably less precise than when they were last amended - but that is the nature of the beast. In these days of specialisation, where newly qualified solicitors concentrate on what is often a tiny area of the law, an overall guide of the nature of Bluffer's Guide to the Law will probably never be repeated - so enjoy what may the last generalist guide to the legal world!
