Brian Pincus SC is a successful South African Advocate. Having spent over half a century in the legal profession, spanning the most radical transformation in the history of South Africa, his timeline maps on to the fascinating timeline of an evolving nation. This is his story. But in many senses, it's far more than that... It's a story about the life of a husband, a father, a son and a brother - a friend, a joker, a colleague and competitor - a student, a teacher, a mentee and mentor... Above all though, it's the story of a trial lawyer. It paints what Brian hopes to be a clearer picture of the sometimes arcane inner workings of the legal profession, and perhaps most intriguingly: "... a glimpse into something that only those of us who have been entrusted with the deepest and darkest secrets of others have any real insight into... a glimpse into the unfiltered parts of the human condition."
