Description

Join Fahri Azzat on a rollicking ride through the legal escapades of a Malaysian lawyer, served with a dash of humour and a splash of candour. This collection of essays is like sitting down at the mamak with a witty lawyer friend who has seen it all in the courtroom and isn't afraid to spill the tea or stir the coffee.

The book is a delightful mix of stories that offer a peek behind the legal curtain. With a sharp eye and a sharper wit, Fahri navigates the labyrinth of Malaysia's legal landscape, sharing insights and encounters with quirky clients, courtroom dramas, legal longings, and the occasional legal absurdity. Each essay is a snapshot of his experiences, bringing to life the highs, lows, poignant and downright hilarious moments of legal practice.

Themes of justice, social issues, and cultural reflections are woven seamlessly throughout his essays, giving readers a critical yet entertaining view of the Malaysian legal system and practice. Writ at Large - A legal life well-rounded is not just for lawyers, pupils, or law students but anyone who enjoys a good write, a good laugh, and a peek into the human and humourous side of Malaysian legal practice.
