Lord Pannick celebrates advocacy: that controversial legal issues
are decided in court after reasoned argument in which the
participants refrain (usually) from shouting, personal insults or
threats, and the points on each side of the debate are tested for
their relevance, their accuracy, and their strength. The book seeks
to identify the central characteristics of good and bad advocacy
with the aid of examples from courtrooms in the UK and abroad. Lord
Pannick also examines the morality of advocacy - that the advocate
sets out views to which he does not necessarily subscribe, on
behalf of clients for whom she may feel admiration, indifference,
or contempt. Lord Pannick seeks to answer the question he is often
asked - more by friends than by judges - 'How can you act for such
terrible people?'. Finally, he addresses the future of advocacy,
arguing it should and will survive pressures for efficiency and
technological developments.
