After working as a barristers' clerk, man and boy, for over thirty
years Stephen Ward wrote a collection of reminiscences of his
working life to date. He describes some of the characters he's met
together with some of the more amusing and repeatable anecdotes
from his life in the legal profession. During preparation of the
manuscript he was contacted unexpectedly by Claire Long, the
daughter of Frank Parsliffe who had written about his 50-year
career as a barristers' clerk from before the Second World War. As
a young clerk in London, Stephen had worked with Frank Parsliffe
(known as Tom) and it was agreed his unfinished memoirs would be
combined with Stephen's book. The result is a fascinating account
of how the work of a barristers' clerk has changed over the best
part of a century. Part One of the book is Stephen Ward's story of
his own career from the 1980s until the present day and the
technological changes that have taken place during that time. Frank
Parsliffe's career spanned a very different time from the 1930s to
the 1980s and his memoirs in Part Two reflect that. Frank also
recounts his experiences as a young man in the wartime RAF. After
four years away in the forces he returned to a very different
chambers.
