Books Before the Bar

English barrister-turned-novelist John Mortimer (Rumpole and the Reign of Terror) picks his five favorite works of legal fiction for The Wall Street Journal. Included is only one straight-forward crime novel--P.D. James’ A Certain Justice (1997)--but it’s his explanations, as much as the books he selects, that are interesting.
