At the insightful suggestion of Mark Lucraft, Brother Sheriff Chris Hayward CC and I began selling signed copies of Thomas Grant’s “Court Number One” (2019) at the list price of £25 with the proceeds (45%) going to support witnesses and the Sheriffs’ & Recorder’s Fund.  Somewhat to our surprise, they seem to go down very well with guests to the Central Criminal Courts.

The book provides detailed accounts of 11 cases at the Old Bailey’s Court Number One, certainly the most famous court in the UK, and probably the world. For a good review, Jonathan Gaisman in Standpoint is worth a read if you’re undecided.
