In this special episode we are joined by David Green, a specialist employment and personal illness barrister from 12 King’s Bench Walk Chambers to discuss personal illness and occupational disease.

Questions asked include:

What is a barrister? Do they all wear wigs and shout “Objection!” all the time?

How does a claim go from injury to court?

What happens during a court hearing?

How is the value of a claim calculated?

David introduces us to the medicolegal world, looking at personal illness, court proceedings and the role of medical experts. Along the way we discuss how to become a barrister, how Inns of Court are like Houses of Hogwarts and how the gavel has never been used in courts in England or Wales.
