Description
Rumpole and His Rivals examines comic legal fiction and the role it plays in the public's understanding of the legal system. The work focuses on the writings of eight lawyer authors over the past century and traces the different approaches taken in this form of comedic literature. Over sixty comic legal fiction books have been published in Britain between 1924 and 2024, with the desire of their authors not only to entertain, but to inform, educate, and create a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand how and why the rule of law and legal profession have garnered the current reputation and level of confidence which they have.
