BONUS: The Secret Barrister
The criminal justice system was a world unfamiliar to many of us until The Secret Barrister lifted the lid on the ‘chaotic’ world of courts and convictions.
A junior barrister specialising in criminal law, this anoymous person is also a part-time author and blogger with almost half a million followers on Twitter.
The Secret Barrister started blogging in 2015. Their aim is to provide a ‘candid’ and ‘accessible’ explanation of the UK’s criminal justice system which, in their words, often doesn’t work.
Since then The Secret Barrister has written for several newspaper publications and published two Sunday Times bestsellers and recently released a third.
