Raising the Bar is a memorable, funny, at times poignant—even tragic—but always engaging account of a life’s journey. Jeremy Pickering recounts his childhood, student days, and his experiences as a practicing advocate. In early 1986, at the height of the State of Emergency, he joined the Legal Resources Centre (LRC) in Port Elizabeth.
A year later, he opened the LRC’s Grahamstown office, serving as its director until 1992, when he was appointed a Judge of the Eastern Cape Division of the High Court. He retired in 2019 after spending 27 years on the bench.
This book is essential reading for anyone interested in law, South African history, or simply a welltold story full of heart and humour.
