The latest episode of the Double Jeopardy Podcast, presented by Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC, examines the Government’s response to Sir Brian Leveson’s review and the ‘right to jury trial’.
During the discussion, the hosts highlighted a recent FOCUS written by retired judge Geoffrey Rivlin KC on ‘Judge-alone trials in serious fraud.’
The presenters described the piece as “a really impressive and fascinating article” and praised FOCUS articles more broadly as “an excellent source of material.”
Editor of FOCUS, Ed Vickers KC commented:
“Being highlighted by the Double Jeopardy Podcast shows how FOCUS and our Fraud Newsletter are driving conversations and sparking debate across the profession. Our aim with FOCUS is that our editorial should lead the way in shaping thought on the important criminal justice issues of the day and I’m so pleased that the response has been so positive.”
