The law applies to us all. Lawyers have a duty to explain it.

In Cross Examination, leading UK barrister Tom Cross examines what the law has to say on the social, cultural, and ethical issues of the day - and asks whether it needs to change.

In each episode, the country’s most expert lawyers discuss and debate the law governing the biggest questions, and respond to interviews with those directly affected.
