May It Please Your Lordship

Toby Potts has just qualified as a criminal barrister and is about to embark on a career in one of the world's oldest professions. 

Stirring speeches to rapt juries, triumphant press interviews and enormous fees paid by grateful clients. He can see it all. 

Unfortunately, he has reckoned without Judge 'Bonkers' Clarke, The Honourable Mr 'Sourpuss' Boniface and a range of other equally terrifying, grumpy and borderline insane judges - not to mention tricky solicitors, bent coppers and dodgy defendants…


Toby Potts is the pen-name of barrister David Osborne and this funny book is based on his own legal career and that of his colleagues.
