Items related to The People's Lawyer
How does a young city lawyer end up as the Peoples Lawyer of the fourth smallest country in the world, 12,000 kilometers from home? Philip Ells dreamed of turquoise seas, sandy beaches and palm trees, and he found these in the tiny Pacific island state of Tuvalu. But neither his voluntary service overseas briefing pack nor his legal training could prepare him for what happened there. He learned to deal with rapes, murders, incest, the unforgivable crime of pig theft and to look a shark in the eye. This is the moving story of a London lawyer colliding with a Pacific Island culture with dramatic and often hilarious consequences. This is a comic travelogue in the tradition of Bill Byrson. A fascinating culture clash between an Englishman keen to do the 'Right Thing', and a culture that works best without his laws.
