An American Yankee in King Alfred’s Court

An American attorney-turned-intern finds himself immersed in the British legal system and culture when he moves to England to work with a barrister named Giles Adams-Smyth. Through humorous and insightful reflections, he explores the contrasts between American and British justice, as well as themes of mentorship, health, and legacy. Richly woven with travel and cultural observations, this memoir offers a thoughtful and engaging look at stepping outside one's comfort zone and the deeper meanings of professional and personal relationships.
