Lawburrows Podcast

Lawburrows is the podcast which burrows into the detail of the law in Scotland, the UK and beyond. Legislation and legal judgments can often seem obscure, baffling, or just plain inaccessible. Hosted by law lecturer and writer Andrew Tickell (@PeatWorrier), the mission of this podcast is to challenge all that. This is Scots law for numpties. With limited legalese and as little Latin as possible, this podcast aims to explain the latest controversies and developments in law in an engaging way.
