A frank and witty memoir of life at the Bar and on the Bench, from
former High Court Judge The Hon. Sir Harry Ognall. For many years,
Harry Ognall 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 in Britain 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 twentieth century, as well as
fascinating insights into a colourful professional life and the
burdens and responsibilities that come with the privilege of high
judicial office.
