Legally Feminist

Emily Ramsey was a high achieving working mum who got convicted of supplying Class A drugs which affected 8 years of her life.  She now tells her story to educate women about abusive relationships and the impact prison can have on children. She questions whether sending mothers who are first time offenders to prison is a constructive use of the justice system - are prisons for punishment or rehabilitation? 

The third episode of 8 exciting interviews by broadcaster and journalist Bidisha in a collaboration between Legally Feminist and Someone's Daughter, supported by the View magazine.

Lauren and Tara are joined by Tania Hardcastle from Brown Don't Frown Podcast to discuss diversity in the law, unconventional career paths, and wonder just how accessible the new SQE really is. 

In this episode, Lauren speaks with the co-founder of The View Magazine, Farah Damji. They talk about how The View came to exist, about mental health provision for women in prison, and their upcoming court case for which they are fundraising. 

In this episode, Ellie is joined by fellow breastfeeding mother Julia Cooper, who is campaigning with MPs Jeff Smith and Stella Creasy to change the law to make illegal the taking images of breastfeeding without consent.

In this episode, Lauren and Tara return to the issue of disclosure in the CPS, and talk about the CWJ and EVAW coalition judicial review case, RASSO 2025, and the cases of Liam Allan and John Worboys. Trigger warning - this episode discusses rape. 

In this episode, Billy, Lauren, and Tara get together to discuss the events of the last few weeks, from the tragic murder of Sarah Everard, to happier news on the other side of the world with New Zealand's new bereavement laws. 

Billy, Ellie, Lauren, and Tara are back. After a short break, the girls are reunited and discussing the impact of the pandemic on women. We talk about pregnant women, self-employed mothers, home-schooling mothers, the vaccine, the public sector, and that dodgy government ad.
