Welcome to Series 11 of Northpod Law. You can listen to show by clicking right here but, of course, we'd prefer that you subscribed on iTunes or via Google Play Store or via any good podcatcher app on your phone/tablet. Ben from Northpod Law particularly recommends this one for Android and iOS.
This week, we talk about the statistics on sentencing and how most of what you hear about them is nonsense. We say "told ya so" about IPNAs after the House of Lords gives the Government a bloody nose.
We look at the actual findings of the Mark Duggan inquest jury (as opposed to the claptrap spouted by many a public figure this week).
We take a look through the hits and misses of the strike action (oops we used the S word) on 6th January and call out the scabs. We can find many positives in this though.
Last but not least, Jonathan takes us on a tour of the recent decision on Gulshan in which the wheels get a bit wobbly when free-wheeling around article 8.
Links are below, folks.
Whilst we were off air:
