‘Law for the Lay, a new game to play’ with Clarissa Campbell

Reimagining Justice

In episode no. 70 my guest is lawyer, creator and producer of social project ‘Law for the Lay’, Clarissa Campbell. We discuss:

• The project she began in 2019 to share the law with everyday people;
• What happened that prompted her to actually start the project;
• How her personal and professional background influences her approach;
• Her unique style using play and humour to share legal information;
• How she chooses the topics that she covers;
• Her legal and branding concerns relating to ‘Law for the Lay’;
• How she selected which social media platform to use, and the challenge of staying up to date with how algorithms work;
• What a “Lawfluencer” is;
• Research she’s done for the project which shocked her;
• Topics that have received unusual responses and how she handles those challenges;
• The level of technical support she receives and how she manages her time;
• Things she’s working to improve about her communication;
• Other ways in which citizens’ legal awareness could be increased;
• How acting on our own ‘agency’ and unique skills can assist others;
• Given it is open to interpretation, I had to ask about her choice of name for the project;
• Covid interruptions and future plans; and
• Clarissa’s definition of legal innovation.
