Description - A Life in Law: A memoir by Nimal Wikramanayake
Melbourne silk Nimal Wikramanayake s memoir is a no-holds-barred account of the scandalous racism he experienced as a Sri Lankan barrister who joined the Victorian Bar in the final days of the White Australia Policy. He worked hard to establish his professional credentials in the face of a consistent pattern of hostility, until he was eventually appointed Queen s Counsel. Readable and entertaining, though sometimes uncomfortable, this memoir is honest and doesn t hold back from criticism of people he encountered and practices in the law. Now in his mid-eighties, Nimal has decided, against advice, to tell the story of his difficult career. The foreword is by the Hon. Justice Michael Kirby.
