Counsel Culture Podcast: Diverse and inclusive on paper, but not in practice?

The latest episode of Counsel Culture: The Business of Law Podcast is now live!

In this week’s episode, Meg is joined by special guest Elaine Banton, Barrister at 7BR, and Co-Chair of the Bar Council’s Equality, Diversity and Social Mobility Committee. We talk about barristers’ wellbeing, the barriers to career progression for female lawyers, and recent cases of overt racism in the industry. To mark National Apprenticeship Week, we also ask whether alternative routes will improve access to the profession. Finally, we also speak about the use of AI to cut down the court backlogs.

Our podcast is now available to download via your platform of choice including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Buzzsprout.
