When we imagine the law we think about courtrooms, trials and mugshots. However, the law affects the everyday life of every person on the street. Our talk is about shining a spotlight on areas of the law where knowing your rights can get you far, at whatever stage of life you are at or whatever situation you are in. Many people view legal rights as inaccessible, complicated and just plain boring! This is something we are here to change. In promotion of active interest in rights and remedies we hope to take the edge off those sticky situations and inspire people to get clued up, as knowing your rights and when to use them can never be underestimated.
