I Explain Australian Law So You Don’t Get Screwed

Most people only encounter the law when something has already gone wrong.
By then, it is usually too late.

This channel exists to fix that.

My name is James Glissan. I am an Australian lawyer, a former police officer, and a former police prosecutor. I also teach law at university. I have seen the legal system from every angle, including how easily people get into trouble simply because they misunderstood the rules.

On this channel, I break down Australian law simply, clearly, and honestly.
No law school theory. No internet myths. Just real law, real examples, and the situations that actually get people charged, fined, or taken to court.

I cover things like police powers, criminal offences, traffic law, consumer rights, contracts, and everyday legal rules most people do not realise exist until they matter.

These videos are designed to be followed over time. If you have ever watched a legal video and still felt unsure about where you stand, this channel is for you.

If you want to understand the legal system before you are forced into it, follow along here.
New videos are uploaded weekly, including short explainers, deeper dives, and real-world legal scenarios.

If there is a legal question you have always wanted answered, leave it in the comments.
