The Death of the Common Attorney

Jerry Pearlman has always claimed to be a solicitor with a difference! Although based in the provinces, his work has included many cases and engagements of national and international importance. Jerry has acted for tribal kings and governments and, as an environmentalist, he has searched the depths of English history to bring some cases to courts and tribunals. He even took one major footpath case to the House of Lords - successfully! This makes him one of the most qualified practitioners to have a long and detailed look at the Solicitor's branch of the legal profession and he finds a profession on the verge of extinction! But whilst describing this terminal situation, he manages to interest and amuse, by including stories of some of his cases and activities with, at times, some hilarious consequences. He also manages to explain some fascinating aspects of the law and its history in an informative manner. Jerry will make you laugh and learn all the way through till the last page.
