Billy Budd

The
last work by one of America’s greatest novelists, a painful contemplation about the limits of the law, a subject of life-long interest to Melville.
To Kill a Mockingbird
By Harper Lee
The
classic tale of justice and injustice in a small Southern town.
The Just and the Unjust
By James Gould Cozzens
The
story of a small-town lawyer told by one of the most revered authors of the middle of the 20th-century, whose work no longer receives the attention it deserves.
Phineas Finn
By Anthony Trollope
Trollope at his chatty best; the
tale of a young Irish barrister who becomes a member of Parliament. An irresistible bildungsroman.
A Married Man

A terrific incisive and suspenseful novel about a London barrister entering middle-age and a shattering mid-life crisis.
