| Summary: | A lawyer’s tools of the trade were his law books. In those days, a firm’s library was very manageable. There were few commentaries and the text of the law – cases and legislation – were self-contained. Local case law that was reported took up only a volume each year in the Malayan Law Journal. Older firms may have had the early Kyshe’s law reports. Statutes were contained in four volumes – DK Walters, who had written the definitive commentary on Municipal Ordinances, was published in one volume. Roland Braddell’s ‘The Law of the Straits Settlements’ was another volume. For a litigator, there was the Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Evidence Act, the same volumes used by lawyers. |
