Brief at Court: A Memoir of the Bar by Sean Enright

A funny and often uncompromising memoir of a justice system that was once brutal, chaotic, and responsible for many miscarriages of justice.

Getting started in the law was the hardest part: who you knew mattered more than what you knew, and the old school tie had a long reach. Over the decades that followed, barriers around privilege, gender, race, sexual orientation, and disability were gradually dismantled.

Appointment to the bench shifted from quiet recommendations to a transparent, merit-based system. Together, these changes helped shape the justice system we have today. If you want to understand its direction of travel, look at where it has come from.

An insightful and compelling account, with a powerful backstory. Everyone has a backstory.

A memoir of terrifying judges and high-profile cases.
