Conclusion

We're back in the new year with a whole new season! But before we get there, we're bringing back our favourite episodes from years passed for your summer playlist.

International human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson was just 28 years old when she became a part of what was, at the time, the biggest news story in the world: Julian Assange* and Wikileaks. From the outset, Robinson was told that she was too young - a critique exemplified by a demoralising interaction with one of the world’s most eminent lawyers. 

For the first time, Jennifer Robinson shares that moment, how she forged her place as one of the most prodigious legal minds of her generation and shares her advice for the next generation of legal minds when they’re told that they’re also too young.

*Please note: this conversation was published in March 2024, before Julian Assange was released.
