Abstract
Extract:
Judge-bashing has become fashionable ever since Roddy published his famous book – Portraits on Yellow Pages. High Court judges, who previously rarely featured on the front pages of newspapers, are suddenly photographed gazing rapturously at tapestries in Medici palaces, sightseeing in Florence, shopping along the Ponto Vecchio, and learning such essential Italian phrases as part of their tax deductible professional education as: “Wine list”, “A table for two”, “Do you take credit cards?” and “Vorri sapere se hai il libro mostrato su pagine gialeo, par Signor Roderigo Meeager?”, being the Italian title of Roddy’s famous book.
