  • EP. 167 – Kent Halkett (Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services)

    EP. 167 – Kent Halkett (Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services)
    2025/01/27
    In a recent survey, 79% of legal professionals said they felt the profession had negatively affected their mental health. And over 15% had even considered suicide. These are two of the worrying statistics we learned from this episode's guest, Kent Halkett. Kent is an attorney with the Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services who has written articles about mental health in the legal community for a host of publications.

    Kent chats with host Teneé Frazier about his journey to becoming an advocate for improving mental health within the legal profession. Kent shares the story of his own mental health challenges, which culminated with him attempting suicide. He explains how publishing his story catapulted him, and this often-taboo subject, into the spotlight.

    During their conversation, Kent describes some of the warning signs of mental health issues, stresses the importance of a work-life balance, and outlines the support available for those in need. Kent also shares insights on how the problem could be addressed, such as by increasing awareness through better education – both in law schools and as part of continuous professional development.

    Cannibals. Terrorists. Serial killers. Movie stars. Megastars. Musicians. Meet the person who's been in court with them all. This episode's guest is courtroom artist Priscilla Coleman. She's the public's eyes in court, and she does it all from memory. Say 'howdy' to the Texan who spends more time at the Old Bailey than hardened criminals. Court can be weird and wonderful, and Priscilla's sketches capture it all. Listen in as she chats to our Kevin, while simultaneously drawing the scene.

    EP. 89 – Special *2021 Yearbook* Episode
    2021/12/20
    We could try to make a witty or poignant comment about this year, but we respect you all too much for that. We all know what 2021 was – and it wasn't the antidote to 2020 we'd hoped for (oops, there's the comment).

    We know what is was, however – it was another smashing year for The Hearing. We introduced two wonderful new hosts – Yasmin Sheikh and Becky Annison – to join Joe Raczynski. Each bringing their own perspectives and specialist legal backgrounds.

    In this bumper episode, we're revisiting our favourite interviews. It's been another varied year and there was never a dull moment. But whether we were speaking to celebrity judges, lawtech innovators or examining current affairs through a legal lens, you’ll notice a common theme – fact and truth. Less common, but just as welcome, was the singing.

    As always, please do get in touch with any comments or questions. And please rate and subscribe if you like what we do.

    If any of these highlights whet your appetite for more, here’s where you’ll find the full conversations:

    – Ep.69, Lady Hale
    – Ep.71, COVID-19 vaccines: will they unite or divide us?
    – Ep.73, Federico Ast (Kleros)
    – Ep.74, Will Moy (Full Fact)
    – Ep.76, Laura Bates (Everyday Sexism Project)
    – Ep.77, The impact of AI and algorithms on the fairness of our justice systems
    – Ep.78, Stevie Ghiassi (Legaler)
    – Ep.79, Freddy McConnell
    – Ep.84, Andy Wishart (Agiloft)

  • EP. 135 – Lubna Shuja (Law Society of England & Wales)

    EP. 135 – Lubna Shuja (Law Society of England & Wales)
    2023/09/25
    In this episode, Yasmin sits down with Lubna Shuja – the outgoing President of the Law Society of England and Wales. Lubna is the first Asian, first Muslim and only the seventh female President in the Law Society's nearly 200-year history.

    The pair reflect on Lubna’s term as President – what she’s achieved, what her typical working days have been like (hint: long!), and why she never gets tired of talking about diversity and inclusion. They also discuss the importance of making mistakes, and what Lubna has learned by having one-on-one conversations directly with Law Society members.

    EP. 122 – Victoria Lewis (byrne·dean)
    2023/05/22
    If we were to suggest “blending your personal and professional life, to bring your whole self to work”, how would that make you feel?

    Perhaps that sentiment aligns perfectly with how you approach your career too. Or maybe it makes you feel like stuffing carrots in your ears to avoid yet more corporate speak.

    Whatever your reaction, listen up! Yasmin's next guest – Victoria Lewis, CEO of byrne·dean – is about to put you through your paces. Victoria explains to Yasmin exactly why this attitude means so much to her, and her clients, and why it makes byrne·dean such a popular place to work.

    Trigger warning: Victoria and Yasmin discuss child loss.

    EP. 16 – S Chelvan
    2018/11/19
    Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them wear gowns. Few guests on The Hearing could legitimately claim to be a lifesaver. But in episode 16, Kevin meets a man who is precisely that. S Chelvan stands as a reminder of why those who work in the law got into it in the first place. Uphold justice. Protect the innocent. Change lives. Personal, thought-provoking, honest and blunt, Chelvan takes Kevin through everything from his Sri Lankan roots and his homosexuality through to his activism and trouble-making, and how that makes you one of the UK's leading human rights and discrimination barristers. But what does the S stand for? Superhero perhaps.
