We’ve seen what happens when a pedophile gets a “soft sentence,” when the police fail to investigate serious allegations of sexual abuse or, worst of all, when the wrong person is convicted. While society likes to believe that the criminal justice system always gets it right, the reality is that it is inherently flawed. As you read, you’ll learn how barristers must often present cases with incomplete information, how untrained volunteers once decided who goes to jail, and how politicians and the media tend to paint the criminal justice system in an inaccurate light. From the criminals to the lawyers, the victims, witnesses, and more, the Secret Barrister reveals the best and worst of humanity and how the broken system affects all who enter it. For instance, how do you defend a child-abuser you suspect to be guilty? Or what do you say when someone is sentenced to 10 years who you believe to be innocent? And why do they wear those stupid wigs? Well, the Secret Barrister aims to show you what it’s really like inside the criminal justice system and why it matters. The world of the Secret Barrister is full of stories, oftentimes funny and ridiculous, but ultimately life-changing. The job of a barrister requires a variety of skills, whether it’s being a social worker, a relationship counselor, an accountant, a coffee supplier, and even an accountant, a barrister must wear many hats inside and outside of the courtroom.

Now despite appearances, the lovely Karen Tayleur ( Chasing Boys Love notes from Vinegar House) was quite happy about having her photo taken beside me – right up until the ‘inappropriate touching’ thing happened. Of course it could just be that Don is giving us all a taste of his ‘bedroom eyes’. Not sure if the thought of being photographed with me has given Don the mother-of-all migraines or if my witty conversation has sent him in to a coma. Here I am with charming SA author Don Henderson ( Half the Battle Keepinitreal).

However, because of a unique solar phenomenon, Tiamat is only accessible by the other Hegemonic worlds for 150 out of every 300 years. One of member planets (and the star of our tale) is Tiamet. These black gates (think miniature black holes/worm holes) allow instantaneous travel between the vast distances separating member planets. The Hegemony is glued together by its ability to connect to member planets via leftover empire technology.
