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

Sydney Morning Herald
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

You f***in beauty! Chester Porter is the man. Get him regardless of the expense!
