Conviction Of The Innocent

“Porter steps forward with a book that should be on the library shelf of every police academy” - The Weekend Australian

Praise for THE GENTLE ART OF PERSUASION:

‘It's easy to read, with lots of wise advice and packed with anecdotes from Porter's courtroom experiences’ - Daily Telegraph

Praise for WALKING ON WATER:

‘There are many dull legal memoirs; this is not one of them!’ - Times Literary Supplement

‘These memoirs should be a prescribed text for legal studies in schools and police academies. Members of parliament might learn a thing or two as well!’ - The Weekend Australian

‘We should all read Walking on Water and be better educated, and no one should embark on litigation before they have done so. By the time they lay the volume down, they will have cooled off, left their solicitor untelephoned, saved themselves a bucket of money and averted a heart attack.’ - Australian Book Review

‘The value of this melange of biography, anecdote and ruminations lies in its rarity...’ - Sydney Morning Herald

‘You f***in beauty! Chester Porter is the man. Get him regardless of the expense!’ - Neddy Smith

‘I am rather averse to people who express criticism but do not suggest improvements. WALKING ON WATER memorably illustrates successive faults in our laws and courts over the last half century and always suggests feasible and humane solutions’ - Hon. E.G.Whitlam

‘The first day in court Chester reminded me of a cheeky, bright-eyed sparrow with eyes and ears everywhere’ - Lindy Chamberlain
