Biography |
"Former English Barrister John Mortimer is best known in America for his Rumpole stories. A public television hit for decades, the Rumpole stories combine wit, suspense, and astute lawyering. When not defending murderers and other criminals at the Old Bailey, Rumpole enjoys sipping a glass of claret at Pommeroy's Wine Bar. He skewers his colleagues at the Inn and suffers barbs from his wife, Hilda, whom he calls, 'She Who Must Be Obeyed.'
" A graduate of Oxford University, Mortimer received an honorary doctorate in law from Exeter University. He became a barrister in 1948 and in 1966 was named to the Queen's Counsel. He has won numerous literary awards: the Italia Prize in 1957 for his play, The Dock Brief; Writers Guild of Great Britain award for best original teleplay in 1969 for A Voyage Round My Father; Golden Globe award nomination in 1970 for his screenplay, John and Mary; and the British Film and Television Academy's award for writer of the year in 1980.
"A prolific and versatile writer, Mortimer has tried nearly every literary type including novels, short stories, plays, biographies, autobiographies, interviews, translations, adaptations, and screenplays" (12 July 2003. qtd. from http://www.lawyerswriting.com/excerpts/excerpts_20.htm).
