Episode 53: Kevin Winters

Sarah talks with leading human rights solicitor, Kevin Winters of KRW Law in this slightly longer recording of Activist Lawyer.  Kevin has been at the cutting edge of niche criminal appeal work in Northern Ireland and further afield and was instructed in numerous high profile cases.  His work on both historical abuse cases as well as ground-breaking  litigation arising from the Troubles in Northern Ireland, is widely acknowledged on a global scale and challenges otherwise accepted  narratives informed by decades of conflict, inquests  and an ever-changing political climate across these islands over a number of decades.   Throughout this recording, Kevin importantly talks in detail about intimidation and harassment directed towards himself as well as his colleagues as they carry out their work in what continues to be, turbulent and emotionally charged times.   Listen in for excellent advice and practical tips for aspiring human rights lawyers and activist lawyers!
