John Dyson is one of the leading lawyers of his generation. After a successful career at the Bar, he rose to become a Justice of the Supreme Court and Master of the Rolls. In this compelling memoir, he describes his life and career with disarming candour and gives real insights into the challenges of judging. He also gives a fascinating account of his immigrant background, the impact of the Holocaust on his family and his journey from the Jewish community in Leeds in the 1950s to the top of his profession. Although he may be perceived as being a member of the Establishment, this arresting story shows how he continues to be influenced by his Jewish and European roots. Also available from Hart 'Justice: Continuity and Change' (2018).

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE WRITERS’ TRUST SHAUGHNESSY COHEN PRIZE WINNER OF THE OTTAWA BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada Beverley McLachlin offers an intimate and revealing look at her life, from her childhood in the Alberta foothills to her career on the Supreme Court, where she helped to shape the social and moral fabric of the country. As a young girl, Beverley McLachlin’s world was often full of wonder—at the expansive prairie vistas around her, at the stories she discovered in the books at her local library, and at the diverse people who passed through her parents’ door. While her family was poor, their lives were rich in the ways that mattered most. Even at a young age, she had an innate sense of justice, which was reinforced by the lessons her parents taught her: Everyone deserves dignity. All people are equal. Those who work hard reap the rewards. Willful, spirited, and unusually intelligent, she discovered in Pincher Creek an extraordinary tapestry of people and perspectives that informed her worldview going forward. Still, life in the rural Prairies was lonely, and gaining access to education—especially for girls—wasn’t always easy. As a young woman, McLachlin moved to Edmonton to pursue a degree in philosophy. There, she discovered her passion lay not in academia, but in the real world, solving problems directly related to the lives of the people around her. And in the law, she found the tools to do exactly that. She soon realized, though, that the world was not always willing to accept her. In her early years as an articling student and lawyer, she encountered sexism, exclusion, and old boys’ clubs at every turn. And outside the courtroom, personal loss and tragedies struck close to home. Nonetheless, McLachlin was determined to prove her worth, and her love of the law and the pursuit of justice pulled her through the darkest moments. McLachlin’s meteoric rise through the courts soon found her serving on the highest court in the country, becoming the first woman to be named Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. She rapidly distinguished herself as a judge of renown, one who was never afraid to take on morally complex or charged debates. Over the next eighteen years, McLachlin presided over the most prominent cases in the country—involving Charter challenges, same-sex marriage, and euthanasia. One judgment at a time, she laid down a legal legacy that proved that fairness and justice were not luxuries of the powerful but rather obligations owed to each and every one of us. With warmth, honesty, and deep wisdom, McLachlin invites us into her legal and personal life—into the hopes and doubts, the triumphs and losses on and off the bench. Through it all, her constant faith in justice remained her true north. In an age of division and uncertainty, McLachlin’s memoir is a reminder that justice and the rule of law remain our best hope for a progressive and bright future.

JUSTICE DENIED is the true story of the journey of a judge of Sri Lanka through the maze of a judicial system that has far outlived its useful existence. The book begins in the year 1974 with the introduction of the Administration of Justice Law, which the author refers to as the tide in his affairs. The story then goes back to his childhood and travels forward as the author climbs the ladder of the hierarchy of the justice system in a country that had been under British colonial rule until independence in 1948. The book should be of interest to the student seeking a comparative understanding of the laws that exist in a country that had been influenced by the successive domination of three colonial powers since 1505, who had introduced their language, culture and religion to create a mosaic of law and legal practices. Sri Lanka's substantive law is rich in its variety. The ancient Kandyan Law which provides, among many other attractive features, incompatibility as the basis for dissolution of a marriage, can be described as a model piece of legislation for the present times. Roman Dutch Law which is the common law of the country is unique in the sense that this law is practiced today only in two jurisdictions worldwide -- Sri Lanka and South Africa. To the credit of British colonial rulers, the Kandyan Law was preserved under the Convention of 1815 and the Roman Dutch Law introduced by the Dutch, was recognized as the common law after the departure of the Dutch in 1796. Sri Lanka is in the process of recovering from a three decade long conflict with a group of terrorists, often described as the most ferocious and brutal the world has seen. This conflict impacted the lives of all Sri Lankans, as it did the author, who had tried several of these terrorists during his judicial career in the High Court. The book contains a judgment that he had delivered regarding the admissibility of a confession under the Prevention of Terrorism Act. In addition to terrorism, the b
