Description

Get in everyone, 'cause today we are going to court, and the Brits are ready to spill the hot cuppa.


I've got to say, I'm super excited for our fourth episode where we gonna talk about queerness in a very unusual place when we think about the LGBTQ+ community, which is the legal setting. One of the most prominent conversations we're having in recent years is how we can promote diversity of sexes, races and beliefs in different scenarios. Created by Liv Reily and Owen Hussey, Queer Lawyers of Tomorrow, is an organisation aiming to promote, assist and propel LGBTQ+ individuals in the legal career via a platform where these minorities can feel welcomed to be who they are and also continue in their legal profession. With a networking community, events, application support, shared opportunities and an ally network, Queer Lawyers of Tomorrow hope to promote an ever-expanding openness in the legal work field.


One of our guests today is Liv Reily. Liv has just graduated in Law at the University of Exeter and wants to work with entertainment law. As I mentioned before, she's also one of the founders of Queer Lawyers of Tomorrow. We are also receiving another guest today, Callum Ward. Callum is a final year student of Law at the University of Lincoln and is also one of the admin assistants of QLT as well. He wants to work with family law in the future.


With them, we gonna address Liv's experience being a member of the LGBTQ+ community whilst being a lawyer, and in contrast, Callum's experience of not being a member of LGBTQ+ community but how by being an ally has helped him and what's the necessity of allyship to social movements nowadays. Needless to say, our talk today is extremely important, informative and inspiring.


One of the things that caught my attention the most is how the members of Queer Lawyers of Tomorrow, decided to create this astounding platform after many frustrations in the work field because of their sexual identity. An so forth set themselves to build a space where they can be accepted and welcomed. Showing that everyone must be invited to the legal party. So better open your vacancies, or, we are suing (finally reached my dream to say it out loud on the internet).


Happy belated pride everyone.
