Trading Liberty for Speed: The Real Cost of the Leveson Review

🎥 In this episode of Spoken Injustice, we take a hard look at the recently published Leveson Review of the Criminal Courts (Part I) — a 45-point plan to overhaul a system in crisis.

While the review rightly identifies the backlog, delays, and funding issues crippling our courts, it proposes deeply controversial solutions — including restricting jury trials, introducing judge-only courts, and limiting appeal rights.

We explore:
⚖️ What the Leveson Review actually recommends
🚨 Why jury trials are under threat
📉 The real causes of the backlog
🗣️ What legal experts and frontline practitioners have to say
🔍 Why we believe the review gets the order of reform completely wrong

This isn’t just about policy — it’s about protecting the public’s role in justice. If we give up core rights for speed and convenience, who pays the price?

📢 Watch now, and join the conversation on justice that works — and protects.
