The Gazette has today launched an online book reviews page, covering law books, fiction written by lawyers, and books about the profession. Our opening reviews include Court Scenes by court artist Patricia Coleman and court reporter Paul Cheston (see picture); Feminist Judgments by Rosemary Hunter, Clare McGlynn and Erika Rackley; and John Grisham’s latest offering The Confession. Reviews in the next few weeks will cover several titles for family law, housing and repossessions, personal injury, costs and the latest edition of Richard Susskind’s The End of Lawyers.
