From headline-making trials to unexpected flashes of humour, this engaging memoir traces the author’s journey through decades of legal practice. With a sharp eye for detail and a storyteller’s flair, he revisits both landmark cases and lesser-known encounters that reveal the human side of the law.

Writing from the lawyer’s perspective, he brings to life the drama, tension, and occasional absurdity of litigation – often with wit, always with insight. Whether you’re a legal practitioner or simply curious about the workings of the courtroom, this book offers a rare, behind-the-scenes view of the legal world and the people who move within.

R.S. Bajwa has almost 50 years of legal experience, and has built a reputation in litigation, both civil and criminal. An article in The Straits Times in 2021 described him as a go-to lawyer for lawyers in trouble, a reputation he earned from his successful defence of lawyers facing disciplinary proceedings.

A rare, behind-the-scenes view of the legal world and the people who move within.
