He worked hard to establish his professional credentials in the face of a consistent pattern of hostility, until he was eventually appointed Queen’s Counsel. Readable and entertaining, though sometimes uncomfortable, this memoir is honest and doesn’t hold back from criticism of people he encountered and practices in the law. Now in his mid-eighties, Nimal has decided, against advice, to tell the story of his difficult career. The foreword is by the Hon. Justice Michael Kirby.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46498429993118,"sku":"HPC-9781925736762","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925736762.jpg?v=1770793717","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925736762","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
