Podcast Overview

Powered by LexisNexis & The Criminal Bar Association NZ Inc. Barristers Annabel Cresswell and Sumudu Thode will bring you insight from some of the most highly regarded criminal minds across both New Zealand and the globe - as they discuss the criminal law issues of the day, and the clients and cases they defend. Criminal law is interesting, diverse, and challenging. The role of criminal lawyers is to uphold our justice system by ensuring that every defendant is delivered the right to legal representation and a fair trial. In addition to providing insight for the public, the podcast aims to create a community for those working in criminal law - one that recognises just how isolating it is to be the person standing up in court alone.
