Lefty Lawyer
Waterside Press (Verlag)
978-1-914603-55-6 (ISBN)
Lawyers often face criticism from politicians when they give inconvenient advice. The term "lefty lawyer" developed to disparage for example, those defending human rights, immigrants, deportees and demanding democratic accountability. Lefty Lawyer: Speaking Truth to Power is Pauline Campbell's response on behalf of all those seeking simply to uphold the Rule of Law.
Dubbed not A-Level material at school, the author became an award-winning solicitor, renowned for speaking out against hostile environment policies that caused great fear amongst long-standing UK residents whose paperwork might have been lost or destroyed. Her remarkable resilience has seen her oppose racism, colourism, sexism and injustice, and it is little wonder perhaps that her badge of honour remains being cancelled without explanation after being invited to address civil servants.
Undeterred, Pauline Campbell has continued to use her voice and legal skills to support hundreds of vulnerable victims, including pro bono with members and descendants of the Windrush Generation.
Pauline Campbell is a solicitor who has worked in the public and voluntary sectors. Chair and trustee of the charity Justice4Windrush and its sole pro bono lawyer, she has also provided advice and legal support on the Windrush Compensation Scheme. An all-round champion of the vulnerable and less privileged, her autobiography Rice, Peas and Fish and Chips was published in 2021. The Author of the Foreword, Trevor D Sterling, is a solicitor and Head of Moore Barlow's Major Trauma Service. He was the first black partner in a City of London law firm, first black senior partner in a Top 100 UK law firm, ranked No 1 LinkedIn Leader in 2024. He has represented clients in many notable and high-profile cases.
