Critics Review

“A satire on legal life, Bugle and Yarrington commendably evades the pretension of emulating Johns Grisham and Mortimer.” The Times; “Bugle and Yarrington is the funniest legal novel since Rumpole and one we would certainly buy!” The Barrister Magazine; “Bugle and Yarrington has a touch of lightness throughout… very difficult to put down” Phillip Talyor MBE; “Offers an insight into how lawyers work - the office life, the politics, the friendships and the anxieties. Lawyers and non-lawyers will find the book entertaining and enjoyable.” The Gazette

About The Author

James James

James James, is a lawyer by profession. Don’t hold it against him. Encouraged by both colleagues and adversaries who saw frequent humour in his court appearances and glimmers of literary genius in his letter writing and drafting, James began to formulate ideas. Before long, he couldn’t keep Bugle & Yarrington in his head any longer, so he wrote this memoir down. If, as a result of his writing, his legal career suffers, James is more than happy to write another book. James has lived and worked in London all his adult life.
