    How can you speak up for someone accused of a savage murder? Or sway a jury? Or get a judge to drop a case?In this vivid memoir, veteran English lawyer William Clegg revisits his most intriguing trials, from the murder of TV presenter Jill Dando to the UK's first prosecution for Nazi war crimes.All the while the celebrated advocate lays bare the secrets of his profession, from the rivalry among barristers to the nervous moments before a verdict comes back — and how our right to a fair trial is now at risk.Under the Wig is for anyone who wants to know the reality of a murder trial. Switch off the TV dramas and plunge into the criminal law in action. Well-known cases featured: The Murder of Rachel Nickell on Wimbledon CommonThe Chillenden Murders (Dr Lin and Megan Russell)The Trial of Private Lee CleggThe Murder of Jill DandoThe first Nazi war crimes prosecution in the UKThe Murder of Joanna YeatesThe Rebekah Brooks Phone Hacking TrialA barrister for 47 years, William 'Bill' Clegg has been the go-to lawyer for complex murder and fraud cases for decades.
