My latest book, Court and Bowled: tales of cricket and the law, is available from the publishers here or from Amazon here.

The book looks at a number of stories where cricket or cricketers gave rise to a legal dispute. It begins with a short history of cricket as it appears in the early law reports, including the case from 1598 which contains the very first known use of the word cricket . It then turns to individual cases from Victorian times to the present day. It is aimed not just at lawyers but anyone interested in cricket and stories from on and off the pitch.

Cases, Causes and Controversies

Cases, Causes and Controversies: Fifty Tales from the Law - a book of mine published by Wildy, Simmonds & Hill.

The book looks at fifty interesting cases, legislative measures or general legal problems from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. It is intended as an interesting general read rather than a dry legal tract.

Many of the articles which comprise the book were first published in the New Law Journal, Criminal Law & Justice Weekly or Halsbury's Law Exchange, though there are also previously unpublished pieces. I have also taken the opportunity to update some of the earlier articles.

Further details including how to purchase the book can be found here.
