Law and Peace Summary

Law and Peace: The BabyBarista Files by Tim Kevan

BabyBarista may have won the battle for tenancy, but the war has just begun. In his pupilage year, BabyBarista learned the hard way that dirty tricks and a faulty moral compass are essential items in a young lawyer's briefcase. Now, as the newest tenant in chambers, he must face down old enemies, try to win compensation for a group of ASBO-attracting pensioners, and unravel the complicated knots of his love life - not to mention his mother's finances. Under the wise and watchful eye of OldRuin, BabyBarista tries to keep his nose (and his wig) clean, but when SlipperySlope, an unscrupulous solicitor offers him a quick way out of his financial difficulties he soon becomes embroiled in blackmail, dodgy share-dealing and the dark arts of litigation. With his old adversary, TopFirst out for revenge, and the chance to be awarded a coveted 'red bag' at stake, BabyBarista must use all the tricks of his trade to extricate himself from his legal quagmire, win the case for his mad old clients, and somehow convince his best friend to fall in love with him. Chronicling the hilarious and sometimes almost unbelievable absurdities of the modern bar, and peopled by a cast of unforgettable characters, Law and Peace is a funny, fast-paced Machiavellian romp through the legal world.

Law and Peace Reviews

This funny, sharp account of backstabbing Bar life ... comes highly recommended * Daily Mail *
Excellent * Guardian *
PRAISE FOR LAW AND DISORDER: `A wonderful, racing read - well-drawn, smartly plotted and laugh out loud ... You'll never look at a young lawyer in the same way again' * Jeremy Vine *
A cross between The Talented Mr Ripley, Rumpole and Bridget Jones's Diary ... a gallop of a read * The Times *
For all those aspiring advocates who believe they are entering a glamorous or even principled profession, this book is essential reading * Independent *
In ever-more wicked and devilishly-funny ways, from hacking into someone's Facebook page to committing identity fraud, BabyB tumbles down the slippery slope from eager competitiveness to underhand racketeering faster than you can say "Objection your honour" * Big Issue *
