Sir William Garrow

A comprehensive account of lawyer William Garrow's life, career, family and connections.

Sir William Garrow was born in Middlesex in 1760 and called to the Bar in 1783.

He was the dominant figure at the Old Bailey from 1783 to 1793, later becoming an MP, Solicitor-General, Attorney-General and finally a judge and Lawmaker within the Common Law Tradition.

Sir William Garrow is a generous work in which well-known legal historian and biographer John Hostettler and family story-teller Richard Braby (a descendant of Garrow) combine their skills and experience to produce a gem of a book.
