************************************************************************************** A witty and candid memoir of life at the Bar and on the Bench, from former High Court
Judge Sir Harry Ognall.
The Hon. Sir Harry Ognall is a retired judge of the High Court, Queen's Bench
Division. For many years, he enjoyed a formidable reputation as an advocate at the
criminal Bar. As counsel, and later as judge, he was involved in numerous high-profile
trials, both here and abroad.
Among many cases as a QC, he prosecuted Peter Sutcliffe, the so-called 'Yorkshire
Ripper'. He successfully defended six officers of the Air Force of Zimbabwe at their
trial in Harare, where they faced a charge of treasonable sabotage.
As a judge, he presided over the trial of Colin Stagg (the alleged 'Wimbledon Common
murderer'), the trial arising from the Lyme Bay canoe tragedy, and the trial for the
first time in the United Kingdom of a doctor's alleged involvement in euthanasia.
Thoughtful and provocative, Sir Harry has advice for the aspiring young advocate and
invests this penetrating memoir with warmth, humour and understanding. His frank
portrait of a lifetime in the criminal law offers unique perspectives on some of the
most notorious cases of the 20th century and fascinating insights into a colourful
professional life and the burdens and responsibilities that come with the privilege of
high judicial office. **************************************************************************************
