Trials & Tribulations

The Official Podcast of the CFLA

Trials & Tribulations is the CFLA’s current podcast, bringing you honest and engaging conversations with the practitioners, academics, and students shaping criminal and family law today. Each episode explores the realities of practice in these two deeply human areas of the law, from pathways into the profession and life in the courtroom, through to the cases, ideas, and experiences that stay with guests long after the file is closed. Whether you are a first-year student curious about what a law degree can take you to, or a soon-to-be graduate weighing up your next steps, there is something here for you.

New episodes are now available on Spotify.

Brews & Briefs (2024)

Brews & Briefs was the CFLA’s 2024 podcast, pairing relaxed coffee-fuelled conversation with practical insight into legal practice. The series produced one stand-alone episode, “Flat White with Cara Nottle”, a warm and wide-ranging discussion of family law and life in the profession, which you can still listen to on Spotify.
