Abstract
Written in Lord Denning's familiar style, this book discusses cases and characters whose names will be known to all readers, grouped together under headings such as High Treason, Freedom of the Press, and Murder. Lord Denning also covers what he describes as his "most important case" - the Profumo Inquiry; he discusses the key issues and characters involved in this scandal, which at the time seemed likely to bring down the Government. 
Description
Written in Lord Denning's familiar vivid, staccato style, Landmarks in the Law discusses cases and characters whose names will be known to all readers, grouped together under headings such as High Treason, Freedom of the Press, and Murder. Thus, for example, the chapter on High Treason tells the stories of Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Roger Casement, and William Joyce--three very different cases, the first occurring nearly 350 years before the last, but each one raising constitutional issues of the greatest importance. - from Amzon
