Podcasts
Law in Action (BBC Radio 4): This is an essential listen for any aspiring law student. Joshua Rozenberg presents a weekly look at developments in the law and legal world in the UK, covering significant cases, legislation, and legal debates.
The Secret Barrister: While not a specific podcast by The Secret Barrister (who writes books and blogs), many legal podcasts will interview them or discuss themes from their work, which offers a fascinating and often critical insight into the criminal justice system from the perspective of a frontline lawyer. Seek out episodes from other podcasts (like "Law in Action" or legal news podcasts) that feature discussions on this topic.
LawPod UK (1 Crown Office Row): Barristers from 1 Crown Office Row discuss current developments in all areas of public law, including human rights, healthcare, and administrative law. It's excellent for keeping up-to-date with relevant legal cases and principles.
Legal Cheek Podcast: This podcast provides insights into legal careers, news, and the legal industry. It's particularly useful for understanding what studying law and working in the legal profession is like.
Thinking Like A Lawyer (Above the Law): While often US-focused, this podcast frequently discusses broader legal principles, case analysis, and the process of legal reasoning, which are transferable skills for any law student. Look for episodes that cover fundamental legal concepts rather than purely US-specific procedural law.
