All trial lawyers know the term voir dire - the trial within the trial. The process determines what is admissible and not admissible, what is relevant and that which is considered irrelevant. A voir dire, can also apply to the lawyer who is tasked with running the case. What are the challenges and obstacles that the lawyer is facing at the time of the trial - the trial within the trial. Like an actor never off stage in a play that never ends. What happens day after day, night after night? A Scandal of the Particular is a journey behind the curtain, an exploration of the trial within the trial, a fictional exploration of the cast of characters who slip out the side or back door at the end of a trial to face their own questions of : What matters? Why go on? Captured in the acknowledgements is a list of names of local counsel who carried the pressures and memories of victims with them to the after life. This book is inspired by them.
