Lady Hale – With The Law On Our Side

 

A citizen’s guidebook to the law in our land with a supremely expert guide: former President of the Supreme Court, Baroness Brenda Hale. 

To most of us, our laws are a web of intimidating institutions and practices. Taking us into the complexities of real courts and real decisions, we see that we all have rights: schoolchildren, disabled people, workers, minorities and patients. In captivating stories, it tells us what the law is about, how it works and, most importantly, why we should all care about it. 

 

Chaired by Jacqui Hodgson

 

“Baroness Hale has done it again – combining wisdom, warmth, and razor-sharp insight to reveal how the law can serve not only the powerful but each and every one of us”Cherie Blair CBE, KC
