    The Assisted Dying Debate

    The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill – better know as the Assisted Dying Bill – will soon be debated in Parliament. It draws heavily from a previous bill proposed by Law & Disorder co-host Charlie Falconer, who, on this episode of the podcast, debates the ins and outs of Labour MP Kim Leadbeater's bill with his co-anchors, Nicholas Mostyn and Helena Kennedy. Nicholas thinks the bill doesn't go far enough; Helena is concerned about a slippery slope. Where do you stand on this fraught, important issue? Listen and let us know!

    Mailbag: interim measures, incitement and inequality (in speaking time!)

    It's time, once again, to crack open the mailbag and see what listeners have made of episodes over the past few months.

We'll cover all that, and more, on this episode – and don't forget to send more questions, thoughts and criticisms for inclusion in future mailbag editions!

    The Court of Protection

    The proceedings of the Court of Protection are not widely known or understood, but could, one day, prove of vital importance to you and your family.

    EMERGENCY: The Shooting of Chris Kaba

    This week, a jury found Sergeant Martyn Blake, a Metropolitan police armed officer, not guilty of the murder of Chris Kaba. Kaba had been shot after police pulled over the car he was driving, which had been linked to a shooting incident. After the verdict, information has been released about Kaba's criminal record and suspected involvement in a gun crime in Hackney. The fallout has asked severe questions of our legal system. Do police officers require more legal protection to do their jobs properly? Are juries too quick to protect emergency services workers? Why was Kaba's criminal record not submitted as evidence? And are the tabloids over-reacting to this week's disclosures? Nicholas Mostyn and Charlie Falconer look the case over before Helena Kennedy joins to give the criminal lawyer's perspective.

    Should we leave the ECHR? With Jonathan Sumption

    Jonathan Sumption – one of Britain's foremost legal voices – joins Law & Disorder again, this time for a good ding dong.

    The Crimes of Mohamed Al-Fayed

    Over the past few weeks, new investigations have turned up a range of serious allegations against Mohamed Al-Fayed, the former owner of Harrods and Fulham FC. How does a man like Al-Fayed – about whom rumours were never far away – manage to go unchecked within his lifetime? What recompense can the law offer his victims? And is there more that the system can, and should, do in order to ensure perpetrators of abuse are brought to justice while they can still be held, personally, to account? Helena Kennedy, Nicholas Mostyn and Charlie Falconer gather to discuss.

    Hong Kong with Jonathan Sumption

    Our guest today – Jonathan Sumption – sat, until June of this year, as a Non-Permanent Judge of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal. He left that role – "in high dudgeon" – as a critique of the creeping totalitarianism of pro-Beijing influences in the east Asian territory. In this wide-ranging discussion with Nicholas Mostyn, Helena Kennedy and Charlie Falconer, Lord Sumption discusses how he came to that decision and looks at how the remaining British judges ought to handle their continued work in the region.
