Fighting For The Rights Of Other People To Create A Fairer World: Louise Hooper, Barrister, Garden Court Chambers

Big Ideas With Mesh!

21-10-2020 • 43 mins

Welcome to Season 2 of Big Ideas With Mesh! Exclusive interviews with dreamers, pioneers, visionaries, and people who challenge the status quo! We will be delving into their story, their dreams, and ultimately their vision for the future.

In our first episode of the new season, I catch up with Louise Hooper, an established public law, human rights and migration barrister. Her practice over the last 20 years has involved a focus on human rights, equality and dignity.

She views strong commitment to and enforcement of universal human rights standards as fundamental to the rule of law and she is committed to holding those responsible for breaching the human rights of others to account. She has particular expertise in cases involving child, refugee and migrant rights, sex, gender, LGBTI+, trafficking and detention.

We talk about all things human rights, government powers, covid challenges, the changing nature of the legal profession, the daily battles as a barrister, the dangers of technology in society, building a fair and equitable international system, the sad realities of racism, Brexit, and many other fascinating topics during our time together!

This episode was originally recorded on 28th September 2020.
