The Law: It s there to protect the people. Isn t it? But who needs protecting from whom? In her first legal case, Irina is battling on every front. Sir Peter QC sees her as a woman first and a barrister second. For her client, she is the only way out. Can high moral principles be sustained in a fragmented system where everyone seems to end up compromising their beliefs? Hare s in-depth analysis of the ideals and failures of the criminal justice system uses humour and insight to make us question the very nature of justice in today s Britain. Murmuring Judges is a legal expression meaning to speak ill of the judiciary, an action which is still an offence in Scotland.
