obiter, on my understanding Raising the Bar will be a serious, non-fictional programme along the lines of Radio Four's Law in Action. The programme is going to try to dispel popular beliefs about the law such as are found on TV programmes. Top judges will feature. They are surely not going to appear in anything substandard!

But it's on Radio 5 Live, so not accessible to anyone without DAB radio.

We could do with some help from you.

brassnecked, Radio 5 Live is not DAB only. I don't have DAB but listened to the programme last night. Several top barristers chatted about their work, with Rinder putting to them the sort of questions often asked by the general public. In addition to asking the perennial favourite "how can a lawyer defend someone he knows is guilty" he put other very searching questions. E.g. a female barrister was asked how she could bear to defend paedophiles when she herself had just become a mother. Her reply was very moving.We also learned about a judge (not named) who got sacked after repeatedly being overturned on appeal. Now we know why LIPs nearly always lose!The series continues next Sunday evening. Meanwhile this first episode can be heard via the BBC website.

You can listen to most radio programmes on BBc i player radio. I listened last night online and the good thing is you can fast forward. Most of it was not that interesting in my opinion.

 

What i want to know from such programmes is whether the Judges are truly independent or can they face pressures from interested parties. How can barristers represent clients when the decks are stacked against them.

We could do with some help from you.
