  • President Trump and the Law

    President Trump and the Law
    Jan 24 2025

    Donald Trump is back in the White House after his historic re-election in November. At his inaugural speech this week, he laid out a manifesto for reinventing America, starting with some fundamental changes to the way that the law operates in the United States. What does he mean? Can he does this? And will the courts intervene? From denying asylum claims to changing America's established views on gender, President Trump is ploughing a controversial furrow. To discuss this, Nicholas Mostyn and Helena Kennedy are joined by David D. Cole, National Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

    Hot off the presses, the Law Commission has produced a new report on the financial remedies available to divorcing couples.

  • Sara Sharif

    Sara Sharif
    Dec 14 2024

    In 2023, a 10-year-old girl named Sara Sharif was murdered by her father and stepmother, the culmination of longstanding abuse she received. This week, verdicts were passed down in court, but, along with the findings, serious questions have been raised. Could the courts have done more to prevent Sara being left in such a transparently violent environment? What do we do when the apparent rights of the parents and children collide? And should the judge who placed Sara back with her father be named? Helena Kennedy, Nicholas Mostyn and Charlie Falconer gather for this emergency episode of Law & Disorder.
