When the Courtroom Becomes a Battlefield
For over four decades, Michael Mansfield has been the lawyer prosecutors dread seeing across the courtroom. From the Birmingham Six to Princess Diana's inquest, from Stephen Lawrence's murder to Bloody Sunday, he's built a career on a simple premise: the powerful should be held accountable, and the system isn't always right. His story begins in the most unlikely place-a middle-class household during the London Blitz, where loyalty to Queen and Country was unquestioned. His father lost a leg in WWI; his mother drove ambulances through bombed-out streets. Young Michael joined the Combined Cadet Force, becoming one of the Army's first Junior Under Officers. Nothing suggested he'd become the establishment's worst nightmare. But two moments changed everything. First, his mother successfully fought a false parking ticket, then warned him: "Never trust a man in uniform." Second, Cambridge and Keele rejected him after his father's death. Rather than accept defeat, he showed up unannounced at the admissions tutor's home. When asked what he'd do with a million pounds, he said he'd give half to his widowed mother and travel the world with the rest. He got in. That boldness-that refusal to accept the official answer-would define his entire career.
