This week, we are joined by the UTS LSS's Publication Director, Izzy. The curve is beginning to flatten, and we're slowly beginning to return to some semblance of what life was like pre-COVID 19 and Georgia, Justin and Izzy are keen to have a chat about what that looks like. Izzy also gives us a little insight into what to expect from the UTS LSS's publication, The Full Bench which this semester is covering legal technology and all of it's many vast and varied implications.
