Are you a lawyer who loves reading? Or a reader who is fascinated by books about the law and the legal system? Mostly Books is excited to announce the return of our specialist book club which focuses on fiction that depicts law and lawyers. We will look at new fiction and also some classics. The bookclub will be facilitated by Dr Rachel Spencer who has been a lawyer and legal academic for many years prior to being Assistant Manager of Mostly Books for the past two years.
Rachel will guide the group through an analysis of each month’s book and then facilitate a group discussion. Attendance will cost $35 per session which includes the book and some refreshments, or you can purchase an annual pass for $260. Click here for the reading list and further information.
