Having served for many years as a criminal barrister and currently, as a Crown Court judge, Nicola is uniquely placed to bring a thrilling authenticity to her observations of the criminal justice system. The quality of her storytelling and brilliant characterization give us a fresh legal thriller in <em>Without Prejudice<\/em>. We will bring it to the screen in a bold entertaining series which will speak to a contemporary audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams commented: \u201cI\u2019ve always loved legal thrillers, and I wanted to write a pacy, compelling legal drama set in the U.K., dealing with issues that could so easily affect any one of us, whilst authentically describing the life of a criminal barrister in contemporary London based on my own experiences at the Bar. I\u2019m thrilled to be working with Studio Lambert to see this book come to life on the screen, and I\u2019m excited about working with Hamish Hamilton to continue Lee\u2019s story and the dilemmas she faces in future books.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Studio Lambert scripted team has optioned Nicola Williams\u2019 legal thriller Without Prejudice, which was republished in 2021 as part of Bernardine Evaristo\u2019s Black Britain: Writing Back series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":15617,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1083],"class_list":["post-15616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-studio-lambert","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
