-The impassioned battle of one woman against The Benchers of the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Toronto General Trusts Corporation, and the Ontario Judiciary.

-A marvelous job of depicting the close social and business ties that maintained the Bar in Toronto

-The disputes that can consume a plaintiff can often as much concern family and money as they can the large public issues of the day, and this book brings that point to life.

-An eloquent first-person view of intrigue and overlapping spheres of influence

-"Forced to go it alone when it appeared no lawyer would be associated with a scandalous case that implicated a senior law society bencher in financial malfeasance, Campbell spent years pursuing justice, becoming the first woman to represent herself before the U.K. Privy Council, the Commonwealth’s court of last resort...It’s a crime that such a document has been inaccessible for years, though it’s been alluded to often enough in the manner polite society discusses a private indiscretion". Matthew Behrens -Quill&Quire

"We felt we were reading a manuscript that the legal establishment wanted to suppress"-Martin Friedland

-For many years to follow, the book's critical stance on the legal profession and the judiciary was sufficiently controversial that Osgoode Hall's library copy was "kept under lock and key in the Librarian's Desk." (xiii) It circulated in the legal profession as "an underground copy" that the legal establishment "couldn't do anything about" and seemingly "wanted to suppress." (xv) Given its attack on the legal establishment and the judiciary, "a ticking time bomb" (3) is an apt description.

-Campbell's story is "about how some lawyers and judges used their power to defeat all her efforts and to discredit her"

-Ontario's legal elite was, the authors assert, an arrogant, self-interested, latter day Family Compact: "elite lawyers, benchers, and judges moved in very small circles, intermingled their families by marriage, and prided themselves on their unchallenged invulnerability"

-The implication that the Canadian judges ruled in his favor out of personal favoritism tends to oversimplify the dynamic of the courtroom

-A brief summary can do little justice to this extraordinary compilation of fully eighty pages of endnotes that guide the reader through the complexity of the legal matters in dispute and furnish detailed mini-biographies of nearly everyone involved.
