Time spent on Law in a Time of Crisis is time spent in the company of a brilliant mind considering interesting thing ... any person of broadly liberal instinct will find much in this enjoyable book to agree with and much that can improve one's way of thinking and of making an argument -- Daniel Finkelstein * The Times * Sumption has always been more than just a lawyer. For many years he was the brilliant QC and then Supreme Court justice who somehow found time on the side to write a definitive, multivolume history of the Hundred Years War: a true Renaissance man -- David Runciman * The Guardian * Thoughtful, stimulation and even entertaining ... Lord Sumption's opinion is always worth listening to even - or especially - if one disagrees with it -- Robert Tombs * The Telegraph *
