<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<br/><br/>Also available from Hart 'Justice: Continuity and Change' (2018).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>John Dyson's <i>A Judge's Journey</i> is the finest public intervention by a retired senior jurist since Bingham. Without a second's pomposity, he shares his personal voyage for all readers interested in human rights and decency in a tempest-tossed world.<br><br>Not just a fascinating and revealing insider's view of the cases and controversies that dominated the justice system at the start of the millennium, <i>A Judge's Journey</i> shows how the bright son of working-class and immigrant parents could make it to a great office of state that has been occupied continuously since the thirteenth century.<br><br>These memoirs combine a moving family history with an account of how it was and, maybe, is still possible to make one's way from an ordinary background to the top of the judiciary, and an acute assessment of the political and legal issues facing us all today... Lord Dyson bridges the gap between the legal reader and the member of the public, and both will gain a clearer understanding of the world around us from his account.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lord Dyson was a Justice of the UK Supreme Court from 2010 until 2012 and the Master of the Rolls and Head of the Civil Justice System in England and Wales from 2012 until 2016.
