Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Lord Devlin by Justice John Sackar
This important book looks at the life influences and impact of Lord Devlin a leading lawyer of his generation and one of the most recognised figures in the judiciary thanks to his role in the John Bodkin Adams trial and the Nyasaland Commission of Inquiry. Starting with his earliest days as a school boy before moving on to his later years the author draws a compelling picture of a complex brilliant man who would shape not just the law but society more generally in post-war Britain.
