When We Were Young

Luke Rigg argues that more young magistrates will improve justice.

Luke Rigg argues that more young magistrates will improve justice.

When Luke told his friends and family he wanted to be a magistrate aged just 20, they all had one question: "Why are you doing that, Luke?" In this talk Luke takes us inside the magistrates' courts where for six years he has been convicting, sentencing, and acquitting offenders, many of his own age, to explain how he answers that question.

Luke is introduced by host Olly Mann.

Producer: Giles Edwards.
