Softcover. Zustand: Very Good +. LAW Biography -Reflections and rumblings on human nature and the law from one of Australia's longest serving criminal defence barristers, once nicknamed 'The Smiling Funnelweb', Chester Porter QC.ÂChester Porter's life in the law began in 1948, when at the age of 21 he was the youngest lawyer to be admitted to the Bar. He took silk in 1974 and quickly became known as Sydney's best defence lawyer, shunning the courtroom theatricals favoured by many of his rivals. Young Chester was the man others would go to if they were in strife. Chester's most famous cases included successfully defending the once only's such as Detective Sgt Roger Rogerson on bribery charges, and Judge John Foord who was accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice. He was counsel assisting the Northern Territory Commissions of Inquiry into the convictions of Lindy and Michael Chamberlain. After clocking up scores of legendary victories, some of Macquarie Street's more larrikin lawyers produced a limited edition t- shirt with Chester Porter Walks on Water - a slogan that sums up an illustrious career that spanned more than 50 years.This book is not merely a reflection of a distinguished legal career from one of Australia's most respected & longest-serving barristers, but an overview of how society, & the law have changed over the last five decades. x, 310 p., [16] p. of plates : ill., ports. ; 20 cm. #040225 Porter, Chester, 1926- Lawyers -- Australia -- Biography Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
