Author Description

"This book, the second in the series, covers David Hope's time as Dean of the Faculty of Advocates. As Dean, he represented the Faculty at home and abroad, while also maintaining a busy practice at the Bar. Among the challenges he faced was persuading the Faculty to accept reforms to enable it to compete effectively with the Law Society of Scotland, which was pressing hard for the right of audience in the Supreme Court to be extended to solicitors."--Back of cover.
