Law and Disorder
Law and Disorder is published by Bloomsbury and was described by broadcaster Jeremy Vine as "a wonderful, racing read - well-drawn, smartly plotted and laugh out loud" and by The Times as "a cross between The Talented Mr Ripley, Rumpole and Bridget Jones’s Diary". It was originally called BabyBarista and the Art of War and is based upon this blog which appeared on The Times for three years and now appears on The Guardian and which was described by The Lawyer as "genius".
THE MAIN CHARACTERS
OldSmoothie
Think Peter Bowles in To The Manor Born and Milk Tray Man, but not quite. Once successful barrister now put out to graze as a committee man.
TheCreep
Jumped up little twerp who sucks up to the big beasts in chambers and struts around as if he's really something when actually he's not.
ScandalMonger
Ruthless PR guru who has become one of BabyB's secret litigation weapons
BigMouth
Pompous Tory MP stuck on the backbenches like a piece of old chewing gum
BusyBody
A whirlwind of interference with a good heart and always up for a fight, particularly with OldSmoothie.
TopFirst
BabyB’s sworn enemy and former fellow pupil
BabyBarista
A young Flashman meets Rumpole meets Francis Urquart for the 21st century

OldFatherTime
A whisper on the wind, Highlander-type figure who is older than time itself

TheVamp
Tenant in chambers and a walking Carry On film of an innuendo
OldRuin
How a barrister should be. Dumbledore meets Clarence, the angel in Its a Wonderful Life. BabyB’s redemption.
TheBusker
Barrister of ten years call with the integrity and decency of OldRuin. Very laid back in his approach to both court and life. Admired by BabyB.
TheBoss
BabyB’s ex-pupilmaster. Unscrupulous, spineless coward.
HeadClerk
The real power in chambers. All seeing, all knowing.
PupilFodder
Learner Barrister foisted upon his unsuspecting client who gets shredded in court
UpTights
BabyB’s pupilmistress for his second six months who was almost called BoTucks for the work she’s had done. Insists on boundaries and personal space. Has ‘issues’.
JudgeJewellery
Judge with penchant for stealing high street trinkets
