Most young people know there are judges who hear cases and MPs who vote on laws – but what happens in between? In this episode, Alma-Constance and Lucinda speak to Sir Robert Buckland KC, former Lord Chancellor and Minister for Justice, as well as Solicitor General. They talk about one of the oldest and least understood offices in British government and explore how courts are funded, why jury trials still matter, what modern slavery has to do with drug trafficking in small towns, and why a ten-year-old can still be prosecuted for a crime in England today. Honest answers to big questions – because understanding how justice works is the first step to knowing your rights.
