Would you defend a murderer, stand up for a rapist or fight for a terrorist?

This is a story about our court advocates who spend their lives defending the rights of the accused. They're often misjudged as overpaid mouths-for-hire, but in this program we go under the barristers’ horse hair wigs to hear about their struggles with ethical dilemmas, lying clients, righting injustices, long work hours and all the after-effects.

The poem Law Like Love by W.H. Auden is read by Bryan Andrews.
