Welcome to Richard Barr's website
I am a solicitor. I practise in England. Solicitors are not usually considered to be very exciting people. But back in the 1980s I developed the idea that even life in a solicitor's office might be interesting to somebody, so I started to jot down my experiences.
The outcome was a series of short articles in Solicitors Journal (where I have a regular back page column and have to date published more than 300 articles - getting on in total to the length of "War and Peace").
This is one of the first pictures of me. After that it was downhill all the way
The things I write are read mainly by lawyers in England. This is an experiment to see whether they might be enjoyed by a wider audience. Most of them have been illustrated by the cartoonist David Haldane. I have included some of his work on this website, and you can contact him direct through the site if you wish.
Read the articles. Click the link to send me comments. I will reply to you. If you want me to write for your publication, tell me, as I always rather fancy the idea of giving up the day job and becoming a John Grisham or Scott Turow.

Note - I am slowly revamping this website, so some of the links may not work until the task is completed. Bear with me!
