Shortly after the programme started, he criticised Judith Sheindlin, the judge of Judge Judy, for making judgements based on her preconceptions while claiming that he applied the law seriously and made "real legal rulings". [17] Despite this, he insisted that it be clarified on the programme that he is a practising criminal law barrister and not a civil court judge. [18] As such, he wears his normal barrister's court dress but without the barrister's wig. [19] Rinder received praise for his cross-examination abilities and acerbic comments. [16] His courtroom includes a gavel and flag of the United Kingdom, neither of which is used in British courts but are on display in American courts and televised court programmes, and his show has been criticised as " The Jeremy Kyle Show set in a small-claims court".

When hero policeman Grant Cliveden dies from a poisoning in the Old Bailey, it threatens to shake the country to its core. The Trial is in the best tradition of John Mortimer's Rumpole series. A hugely enjoyable British courtroom drama' Steve Cavanagh An exciting start to what promises to be an excellent series, with an appealing central character' The Guardian I didn't think there were any untied bows. Any questions I had were answered by the end of the story. Throughout, there are some very deep, thought-provoking and moving quotes, that may make you rethink what you thought of the English legal system in terms of criminal justice and potential miscarriages of justice. Rinder entered into a same-sex civil partnership with barrister Seth Cumming [40] at a ceremony on the island of Ibiza in 2013, conducted by Rinder's friend, actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch was legally entitled to conduct the ceremony because of his online Universal Life Church ministerial ordination [4] and Rinder was later one of three best men at Cumberbatch's wedding to Sophie Hunter in 2015. [41] It was reported in January 2018 that Rinder and Cumming had separated. [42] [43]Overall, I was thoroughly entertained and thought this was an impressive debut novel. I certainly hope this novel is the beginning of a new series and I look forward to reading more from the author in the future. This is a book that takes you to the dark heart of the criminal justice system. They are all here - the good, the bad, the innocent and the guilty. I have not enjoyed a legal thriller this much since Grisham's The Firm' Tony Parsons

Becoming a barrister suited Rinder’s relatively late-discovered love of learning, the debating skills he nurtured at university and a genuine desire for advocacy. “There’s something enormously powerful about standing between the individual [accused of a crime] and the power of the state. There’s a moment – it happens to all young barristers – where you realise that what you’re doing has the most profound value to uphold democracy under the rule of law. It sounds sanctimonious, or about your own importance. It’s not quite like that.” It’s not about him specifically, he says, more what it means for us all. Rinder still practises law to the extent that he lectures, offers advice to some organisations and mentors young barristers. But he seems more keen to use his profile to highlight issues he cares about. “The reason I make documentaries is because I’m convinced, especially with social media, that political points of view have moved from the logical to the emotional hemisphere of the brain. That’s exacerbated by echo chambers.” People with an opposing view, he says, “interfere with your sense of identity and safety. So how can you have a conversation with goodwill?” He wants more listening, “to say: ‘I hear you’, and mean it. To say: ‘Let me tell you a story.’”Brilliant courtroom drama, humorous as you would expect from Rob, and one that I had to read slowly because I did not want it to end' Heidi Perks It is a great read but I found the caricature style and overblown description jarring. The plot and pace would have lost nothing by reining in the lowest common denominator factor.... eg Hogan, Michael (3 September 2016).

Pupil barrister Adam Green is on Jimmy’s defense team headed by his pupil master Jonathan Taylor-Cameron, who would rather Jimmy plead guilty so that he could devote his attention to more high-paying clients. Though his pupil master is leaning toward establishing reasonable doubt, Adam is convinced of Jimmy’s innocence and tries to gather evidence that would prove the same often attracting the ire of his pupil master who is happy to let Adam shoulder most of his caseload while he pursues other interests.
