Informazioni sull?autore

Having first disguised himself under alias as Martin Vernon in case his Bluffer's Guide to Law caused him to be struck off, David Mitchell now feels sufficiently safe to own up to being himself.

At the age of nine he was despatched to Sussex where he spent seven years dressed in knee breeches and yellow stockings marching up and down to a band. These peculiar traits, combined with the failure of his studies in Maths, Physics and Chemistry, inexorably led to a career in the law. He has pursued the sport of litigation in London, occasionally in foreign climes, and now in the Midlands. He has dabbled as a Deputy District Judge and is now a mediator (which he reckons is like meditation in front of an audience) but regards squash as the only proper alternative activity, perhaps influenced by his disabilities at tennis, golf, windsurfing, skiing and sex.

Observation of the failures of others during his time spent as a divorce lawyer has sustained his own happy marriage and amused his long-suffering family. A senior partner within his firm, he has been heard to observe that a partnership is like marriage, but that he never expected to have around 25 spouses, nor that only three of them would be women.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Those who seek to explore the delectable realms of equity and succession, of jurisprudence or revenue law, of licensing or mercantile law, of banking or the law of construction must pursue their quest in heavier tomes than this slim publication. It is enough to keep in mind that you only need the necessary framework and enough inside information to impress and, who knows, if you display sufficient stubborn determination and a consuming desire to put cost before justice you may yet achieve the ultimate goal of the bluffer - the post of Lord Chancellor.
Bluffer's Guides is a series of snappy little books containing facts, jargon, and all you need to know for instant expertise.
