昨天开播的 BBC 2009年新剧 Garrow’s Law: Tales from the Old Bailey，说的是18世纪英国律师 William Garrow 的故事。我们现在经常在法庭戏中看到的律师质询证人的唇枪舌剑和高度戏剧效果，都是从这位律师开始的。William Garrow 出身平凡，即使当上了法庭律师，也被贵族出身的法官和律师嘲笑缺乏风度。当时的法庭辩论非常讲究礼节，William Garrow 打破了这个规矩，不仅把当庭质询证人作为辩护的重要手段，而且具有戏剧效果，成为一种艺术。
该剧集基于英国的“律师先驱”William Garrow的真实经历创作而成，以18世纪晚期伦敦中央刑事法庭为背景，讲述了出庭律师William Garrow在法庭上唇枪舌剑，为受迫害者平反、追求
平等，并同腐败的政府官员及黑社会势力作斗争，同时穿插其与有夫之妇Lady Sarah Hill的感情纠葛。剧集中的法律案件都有案可查，涉及强迫、谋杀、叛国、腐败等。在那个年代，刑事被告极少有机会得到律师的辩护，辩护律师在法庭上亦处处受制。William Garrow以其刚正不阿的为人，敏锐的思维和辩才，无形中推动了刑事审判制度的改革，开创了向控方证人进行质问的先河，在其身为代理人的导师Southhouse的协助下，揭开了一起又一起事件的真相，对现代法律体系特别是辩护制度的创立发展，起到了不可低估的历史作用。
