An understanding of the legal system is fundamental to being an effective member of our community. Learning how the law works, its role in society, and how laws are made and changed, can be empowering for students.

In this episode, Peter talks with Council member, retired Legal Studies teacher, and self-confessed “law junkie”, Wayne Gleeson. They explore the important work of the Council, including its Council’s involvement in recent sentencing reforms for fire offences and assaults on emergency services workers. They also discuss the significant role Wayne played in developing the Legal Studies syllabus, and how students “grow” when they study this course.
