My Brief Career: The Trials of a Young Lawyer

By Harry Mount

Book Overview

Harry Mount's account of his hellish years as a "pupil"--a trainee barrister in The Temple--has all the horror of a Dickensian tragedy and all the charm of Bridget Jones' Diaries. An expose of what goes on behind the ancient walls of London's inns of court, this fascinating story dares to reveal the grim secrets of one of England's most archaic institutions. This is a book for everyone who has ever thought they might want to become a lawyer.
