A compelling and entertaining insight into life at the Australian bar.

From the story of a barrister who, when asked by the judge whether he was trying to show his contempt for the court, replied: “No, Your Honour, I was trying to conceal it!”; to the many accounts of luminaries and characters of the legal profession, I Object is a fascinating account of the experiences of a Queen’s Counsel ... both inside and outside the courtroom.

I Object! will captivate lawyer and non-lawyer alike.

Praise for I Object!

This book will be of as much interest to the public as it is to lawyers.

It is full of insights, drolleries and elegant precis of real cases. As an accomplished barrister, who has practised in many jurisdictions, in different courts and in different types of proceedings, Einfeld has many stories to tell, and he tells them very well.

He has the essential qualities of the successful advocate, of clarity of expression, the capacity to get to the heart of a matter, and to make the complicated appear simple.

He writes on the basis of the sort of experience that few modern and future barristers will have, mainly because so much of the law is now to be found in voluminous written legislative prescription which can lead to specialisation and a narrowing of vision.

Even so, advocates at all stages of their career, and especially beginners, should read and will enjoy I Object! Unlike some legal writings, legislation, and otherwise, though, it will be equally accessible and enjoyable to other readers. —The Hon. Ian Callinan AC QC
