Facing John Mortimer QC, the man behind ‘Rumpole of the Bailey’ was an exhilarating experience for a young Barrister such as Sir Geoffrey Nice at the time. Here he recalls the times that he faced him in the publishing indecency cases common in the 1960s. This is an extract from 'Sex and the Law' by Professor Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, Gresham Professor of Law. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/sex-and-the-law Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
