INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Anna Morris KC has represented thousands of bereaved families at some of the UK's most high-profile public inquiries - including Hillsborough and the COVID Inquiry. But her path to King's Counsel looked nothing like the rulebook said it should.
In this episode, Alex sits down with her old university friend Anna to talk about what it's really like to stand up in court on behalf of 7,000 grieving families, the moment a member of the House of Lords told her to "stop riling up her people," and why she almost didn't become a barrister at all.
They get into:
- The pressure and privilege of high-profile public inquiry work
- The power of silence as an advocacy tool - and why it isn't taught
- Overcoming imposter syndrome, neurodiversity, and not fitting the barrister mould
- The stark lack of diversity at the bar and what still needs to change
- Why legal aid lawyers routinely work for free - and what that costs the profession
- How Anna balances carrying the weight of others' trauma with being a mother, a leader, and a human being
- Her note on vulnerability: staying authentic even when you're the most polished version of yourself
A candid, warm and genuinely inspiring conversation about finding your own way - even when no one else seems to do it the same way you do.
