Author: Henry MurphyNumber Of Pages: 203Release Date: 31-12-2000Details: Dermot McNamara B.L., the hero of Henry Murphy s last collection of stories An Eye on the Whiplash, is back . McNamara is an ambitious young barrister, but for all his ambition his career has been slow to get off the ground. The briefs have been few and far between and the victories even more scarce. And then there is Arnold, principal, indeed sole partner of Arnold J O Reilly & Co, Solicitors and Commissioners for Oaths and Notary Public. Dermot sees Arnold as a necessary stepping stone on the ladder to greatness and his assessment is not lost on his attorney, who has a tendency to keep Dermot in his humble place. Dermot badly needs a victory, and even more badly needs a practice. Will taking up golf, receiving an introduction to a posh firm of solicitors, acting on behalf of his friend Arnold s delicious sister, help to finally break the mould for this fledgling barrister. Brief Cases gives a humorous and excellent insight into what at times can seem like a mysterious profession.EAN: 9781842180129Languages: EnglishBinding: PaperbackItem Condition: UsedVeryGood Show more
