Lawfully Explained

…

LiSTNR

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.
