For some years lawyers have been reading with the greatest interest the articles from the pen of Gilchrist Alexander which have appeared in the pages of the Law Times. A selection of these articles is now published in book form under the title After Court Hours.
In Part I the author describes the life of the Temple as he has known it - eating dinners; pupillage; devilling; practice at the bar; the library; the social life of the Inn. A vivid picture is built up of the traditions and the personalities of bygone days.
A further series of articles discusses the characteristics and judicial work of many famous judges and advocates of the last fifty years, and of others equally well known in their day but now almost forgotten.
The book concludes with a lively series of essays on some persons and institutions met by the author in his various legal appointments in the South Seas.
