Four Faces of the Law
Description
Few have shaped the field of law, both as practitioner and writer, as Michael Beloff KC. This expertly curated collection tracks this impact through his writings and lectures.
In a work divided into four interrelated parts – Advocacy, Judges, History and Sport – each is singly illuminated by the author's own experience and insight reflected in the accompanying illustrations.
