Real World Lecture: Does Everyone Get a Fair Trial?

What does “justice” really mean in today’s legal system? We binge crime dramas, debate courtroom verdicts, and follow true crime stories with fascination but how much do we really understand about how justice works in real life? In this Real World Lecture, we’ll explore the idea of fairness in criminal trials and ask: Is our justice system truly just? From the role of juries to the challenges of legal funding, we’ll unpack the real-world issues behind the headlines and dramas. Whether you're a true crime enthusiast, a future lawyer, or just curious about how the system works, this session will challenge your thinking and offer a glimpse into our criminal justice system.
