Winning the Argument: A Christmas Story

By CJ Bernard

London. Christmas. There is snow everywhere. There is snow falling on the gardens of Middle Temple and snow falling on the Royal Courts of Justice.

Lara Malkova is walking through the snow and refusing to cry. Her ex is demanding that their daughter live with him. Yet who could be better placed to take on a litigious ex? Lara is a feisty barrister with lots of friends in the legal world. What could go wrong?

But Lara's practice is crumbling. Solicitors are deserting her. Her chambers evict her from her room. A bullying judge reports her to her regulatory body. As Lara's life enters free fall, she begins to think that the only person she can talk to is her ex.

What a shame she can't trust him.

Mixing comedy and romance in a novel which will do nothing for the reputation of the legal profession, Moving On will enthral and amuse.

'After reading Moving On, you'll never look at English lawyers in quite the same way.'

Matthew Stewart, author of An Emancipation of the Mind: Radical Philosophy, the War over Slavery, and the Refounding of America

'Moving On is a hundred times more enjoyable than any legal book you will ever read.'

David Lonsdale, co-author of Leasehold Enfranchisement
