In this episode of the Legal Besties Podcast, we delve into a provocative trio of topics: medical treatment, the death penalty, and L'Oréal. First, we examine the thorny question of whether medical professionals can lawfully treat someone who's unconscious, where does implied consent begin and end? Then, we turn to the polarising terrain of the death penalty, exploring how evolving legal standards and public opinion are reshaping its future. Finally, we spotlight a David-and-Goliath battle as L'Oréal faces backlash for allegedly targeting a small business with aggressive trademark litigation, raising questions about fairness, power, and the limits of brand protection.

In this episode of the Legal Besties Podcast, we unpack a timely trio of legal flashpoints: defamation, conscription, and child privacy. First, we dive into the murky waters of defamation through the lens of infamous university confession blogs - anonymous platforms where reputations are made and broken. Then, we explore the recent revival of debate around conscription, sparked in part by revelations about Kemi Badenoch's youth and attitudes toward national service. What does this say about generational divides and state expectations of civic duty? Finally, we turn to child privacy, asking how far parents should go in monitoring their children's technology use, especially in light of the controversial show Adolescence.

“Artistic freedom allows for artists to pursue any topic they want, from whichever perspective they choose from. Although it is generally agreed upon that this is a good thing, in recent years various works in literature, film etc have been criticised for inaccurate or insensitive portrayals, or for being motivated by a hidden ,or sometimes explicit, political agenda. This raises the question whether there are any responsibilities on what an artist is allowed to do, and more importantly not allowed to do when creating art."Thank you to Pavlos and Sarah for being our guests this week, and special thanks to Pavlos for writing the thesis.
