It can sometimes seem like lawyers speak another language, but if you find yourself needing legal help, what good is that? Lawfully explained is the podcast that does exactly what the title suggests - it explains the law! We take complex legal speak and break it down into simple, easy to understand language so that if you ever do find yourself needing a lawyer, or needing to understand your rights, you go into it informed and knowing what to expect. No jargon, and no having to rely on ‘The Vibe’ like Darryl Kerrigan did in The Castle, just helpful, real information to get you better understanding the legal system.
As we wrap up Season 2 of Lawfully Explained, Amy is joined by Katie Green, Managing Principal at the Inner City Legal Centre and Kavitha Sivasamy, a Canberra based lawyer, to take a hard look at how our legal system can do better in its support of the transgender community. Through her lived experience as a trans woman, Kavitha gives her thoughts on where our legal system lets the community down, and how we can improve. Plus, Katie reveals the biggest issues that are brought across her desk working as a lawyer that specialises in trans and gender diverse law.
