A SOMERSET barrister has released his second book based on a young lawyer's life. 

Somerset based Barrister, author and public speaker David Osborne has recently published the second volume of his book ‘Order in Court: Volume 2 (Toby Potts)’ which recounts the trials and tribulations of young Toby, as he graduates from Bar School and prepares for a glittering career of 'legal fame', or so he hopes.

The book is based on experiences Osborne and his colleagues had as they tried to climb the legal ladder.

David Osborne, author of the book said:"The legal world is an arena unlike anything else on the planet, and those of us who stick it out and 'make it' are left with experiences that live in the memory for years to come.

“I wanted to write something unique, creative and funny, as well as remaining faithful to the cut and thrust of the courtroom drama.  

"Believe me, this reads like fiction – but it’s so close to real life!"

 "Initial reader feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and, with huge demand for the series to continue, I’m currently working on volume three.

"With a working title of ‘My Learned Friend’, Toby’s adventures in wig and gown are set to continue!"

A critic said: “It is good to read a book which is an excellent blend of accurate narrative and sound humour; David Osborne’s background as a successful barrister does much to add credence to the storyline which makes it all the more relaxingly readable”.

The book is now available to buy on Amazon.
