In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds an hilarious, alarming and eye-opening defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy. Thankfully, the Secret Barrister is back to reveal the stupidity, malice and incompetence behind many of the biggest legal stories of recent years. The Secret Barrister, Fake Law: The Truth About Justice in an Age of Lies Throughout the web of the English Criminal Law one golden thread is always to be seen, that it is the duty of the prosecution to prove the prisoner’s guilt. This 'fake law' allows the powerful and the ignorant to corrupt justice without our knowledge - worse, we risk letting them make us complicit. Our unfamiliarity is dangerous because it makes us vulnerable to media spin, political lies and the kind of misinformation that frequently comes from loud-mouthed amateurs and those with vested interests. But the law touches every area of our lives: from intimate family matters to the biggest issues in our society. The Secret Barrister is an anonymous junior barrister specialising in criminal law, and the author of the bestselling The Secret Barrister, an eye-opening account of Britain’s broken legal system. In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds an hilarious, alarming and eye-opening defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy. Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all.
