In Black and White: A Young Barrister's Story of Race and Class in a Broken Justice System - by Alexandra Wilson

As I hoped, this was a book that taught me a lot about worlds to which I am never normally exposed. Some of it is quite frightening, when you see how easily someone can end up in court even when they have done something very minor or even be completely innocent. The book is written in a simple way, clearly describing the events and the author’s feelings as she progressed through pupilage. By the end, I was quite clear that, if I ended up in an appropriately unfortunate situation, I’d want her on my side.
