Gertie's Law

0

Drama has unfolded in these courtrooms for more than 130 years, from serial murderers and gangland wars to multimillion-dollar commercial disputes and celebrity defamation cases. Follow Greg Muller and Evan Martin as they take a step behind the bench of one of Australia’s oldest institutions and hear from judges as they explain why they make the decisions they do. Gertie's Law takes a deep dive into some of the lesser-known, misunderstood or complex parts of the court’s work, such as sentencing, mental health, juries and the criminal trial process. Revisit historic cases, meet the many people who work here, from judges to Corrections staff, and take a close look at how a modern justice system operates in a 19th century building. Authorised by the Supreme Court of Victoria, 210 William St, Melbourne

    Excellent podcast
    As a law student I have a great excuse to listen to this, but I don’t really need one. It’s well-produced and super interesting, and goes into the right amount of depth. A really cool initiative.

    Extremely well done!
    I wait eagerly for every episode of ‘Gertie’s Law’. I’m a law student turned psychologist born and raised in NSW but now living abroad in the US and to be honest, I’m not always trusting of law enforcement or the justice system. But Australia is miles ahead of the US in how our justice system functions and listening to the sound and reasoned statements and opinions of judges in the VIC Supreme Court and all of the other staff who have agreed to be part of this podcast is extremely enlightening and I’m grateful and appreciative as a listener. To everyone involved in the making of ‘Gertie’s Law’- thank you for providing so much for me to consider and think about and for this window into an important institution that we rarely get to see with such transparency.
