| 4/8/26 | Prof. Dan Meagher (2023) | Today, we revisit our conversation with Dan Meagher, Professor and Chair of Law at Deakin University. As we’ll hear, despite studying law and doing his articles, Dan initially tried fairly hard to avoid a life in the law, until he found academia or perhaps more accurately, until it found him. Dan specialises in constitutional law; lecturing, studying and publishing on the topic all over the world. We recorded this episode in the lead-up to the 2023 referendum, and it was truly enlightening to hear his insights on the Voice to Parliament.www.greenslist.com.au/podcastwww.themelbournemap.com.au | — | ||||||

But as we’ll hear, after a chance work experience placement in year 10 Lauren found her passion and she hasn’t looked back.www.greenslist.com.au/podcastwww.themelbournemap.com.au | — | ||||||
| 3/11/26 | The Hon. Michael Croucher KC (2023) | This week we revisit our wonderful conversation with The Hon Justice Michael Croucher KC.

Fortunately for us that didn’t work out and he made his way to the law, ultimately becoming a Victorian Supreme Court Justice. It’s a fascinating tale, and we’re delighted to bring you Justice Croucher’s Life in the Law. www.greenslist.com.au/podcastwww.themelbournemap.com.au | — | ||||||

| 11/19/25 | The Hon. John Coldrey AM KC | This week we welcome The Hon. John Coldrey AM KC to Lives in the Law. When reflecting on John’s work and contribution to the criminal bar in Victoria, the words legendary and iconic are entirely appropriate. Along with his decades defending in criminal cases, John was a founding member of the Criminal Bar Association and even wrote and performed songs and skits at Bar Review nights with his close friend and colleague, Frank Vincent.Following in Frank’s footsteps, John was one of the first advocates to go to the Northern Territory to work at the Central Australian Aboriginal Legal Service - an experience that led to his role as Director of Legal Services at the Central Land Council, where he advocated for Indigenous land rights.Not long after returning to the bar, he was appointed Victorian DPP - a surprising move for a man who had never prosecuted a single case. In 1991, John was appointed to the Supreme Court of Victoria. He also served as a member of the Adult Parole Board and as Chairperson of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine.John has had an exceptional life in the law, and it was an honour to welcome him to the show.www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 11/5/25 | Nick McKenzie | This week, we welcome renowned Australian investigative journalist Nick McKenzie to the show. Although Nick doesn’t work directly in the law, his work intersects with it almost daily. Some of his greatest collaborators have been lawyers - as have some of his greatest foes.Nick has enormous respect for the law, yet he also sees its limits, and believes journalism can bring justice where the law cannot. And he’s certainly used his craft time and time again to do just that - exposing police corruption, foreign interference in Australian politics, and war crimes. His work has even instigated a Royal Commission.It’s a dynamic and, at times, surprising conversation and a real delight to hear about Nick’s life and career.www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 10/22/25 | HH Mag. Michelle Hodgson | This week, we welcome Her Honour Magistrate Michelle Hodgson, head of the family violence division of the Magistrate’s Court, to Lives in the Law. Michelle was admitted in 1993 and worked as a Solicitor Advocate at Victoria Legal Aid, the Fitzroy Legal Service, and the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, all of which crystallised her desire to go to the bar. As a barrister, Michelle worked on many complex and high-profile cases, including the Nauru Royalty Phosphate Trust case and the Pong Su heroin import case. Her work as a Magistrate has been broad and impactful; in particular, her role now as head of the family violence division is compelling to learn about. It is a fantastic conversation, and a pleasure to welcome Michelle to the show. | — | ||||||
| 10/8/25 | Fiona McLeay | This week, we welcome Fiona McLeay, the Victorian Legal Services Commissioner and CEO of the Victorian Legal Services Board. The VLSB+C is the independent statutory authority responsible for the regulation of the legal profession in Victoria.Long before her fascinating life in the law, Fiona grew up in the country, and was the first person on either side of her family to go to University. She is a natural-born leader who brings systems thinking to every role she takes on; from Special Counsel at Clayton Utz to CEO of Justice Connect; from General Counsel of World Vision to Co-Chair of Equality Australia. It is a wonderful conversation and pleasure to welcome Fiona to the show. www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 9/24/25 | Jock Serong | This week, we welcome multi-award-winning writer and former barrister, Jock Serong. For as long as he can remember, Jock wanted to be a writer, but after a better-than-expected mark in year 12, a law degree seemed to be a safer bet than journalism. Despite doing some truly fascinating cases, including early Native Title work in Western Australia, and junioring in the Silk Miller murder trials, it was always the stories and not the law that captivated him. So after almost two decades in the law, he let his practising certificate expire and made the leap to full-time writer. Jock has written seven novels, including Quota, which won the Ned Kelly Award for Best First Novel, and his most recent work, Cherrywood, whose protagonist, Martha, is a lawyer in a large firm in Melbourne. It is a fantastic conversation and a pleasure to welcome Jock to the show.www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 9/10/25 | Malcolm Speed | Today, we welcome Malcolm Speed, former lawyer and sports administrator. As a sports mad kid, Mal’s focus was primarily basketball and cricket with a bit of study on the side. But after some focus in the final years of high school, Mal found himself studying law at Melbourne University, with very little idea of what a career in the law could actually look like. After 25 successful years as a solicitor and at the bar, Mal took a risk and opened a consulting business in sports administration, back when many sporting bodies were semi-professional at best. Ultimately, the risk paid off and led to the roles that many listeners will know him for; CEO of the Australian Cricket Board and later the International Cricket Council. Mal’s is a unique life in the law, and it was a delight to hear about it in this conversation. www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 8/27/25 | Sara Kowal | This week, we welcome Sara Kowal, Director of Eleos Justice at Monash Law. Sara believes her role is one of the best positions going in the law. She relishes working with incredible people who share her mission to end the death penalty - be it human rights defenders from around the globe or the impressive students in her anti-death penalty clinic at Monash Law.www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 8/13/25 | The Hon. Justice Phillip Priest | Today we are delighted to welcome The Hon. Phillip Priest, Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria. Phil has had a rich and storied life in the law. The depth and breadth of his experience is vast, and in this conversation he shares his valuable insights on the skills needed to be a good advocate and qualities of a good judge, the impact of social media on jury trials, and his personal response on finding out his former junior, Nicola Gobbo, was illegally sharing information with the police from privileged conferences with their client Tony Mokbel.www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 7/30/25 | HH Judge Nola Karapanagiotidis (2022) | Today, we revisit our conversation with Her Honour Nola Karapanagiotidis. Before becoming a Country Court Judge in 2021, Nola had a variety of experiences in the law, beginning as an articled clerk at Victoria Legal Aid all the way to the bar, with a large amount of pro bono work along the way. Interestingly, Nola is the first female Greek / Australian County Court Judge in Victoria. Her parents migrated from Greece in the 1960s with no English and limited education. From those humble beginnings, Nola and her brother Kon have had a huge impact on our legal system and it was a pleasure to explore that journey in our conversation. www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 7/16/25 | Jim Cosgriff (2022) | This week, we revisit our 2022 conversation with Jim Cosgriff, founder and partner at Cosgriff Lawyers in Echuca, country Victoria. Jim’s Life in the Law began as a boy, sitting in the back of country courtrooms watching his dad, Magistrate Bryan Cosgriff, in action. After high school, Jim moved to the big smoke to study law and went on to become a partner at William, Winter & Higgs, working in a wide variety of areas including crimes compensation and on behalf of victims of clergy abuse. But the pull of the country was too strong for Jim, and eventually he had to get out of the city, taking over a firm in Echuca over 25 years ago, and he hasn’t looked back.www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 7/2/25 | Peter Ward OAM (2022) | This week, we revisit our 2022 conversation with Peter Ward OAM, one of Victoria’s leading criminal law practitioners for over 40 years. Peter spent his entire career at the firm of Galbally & O’Bryan and worked on some of the most high-profile cases in Victorian history, including the Walsh Street police killings in 1988. Like most practitioners, Peter had to work incredibly hard to prove himself at the start of his career. He knew no one in the law and had no real connections, but Peter faced an additional challenge: being legally blind. It was a privilege and a pleasure to hear about Peter’s Life in the Law. www.greenslist.com.au/podcast | — | ||||||
| 6/18/25 | HH Justice Iain Ross AO (2022) | Today, we revisit our 2022 conversation with former Federal Court Justice Iain Ross AO.
