Richard Lissack
From Death Row to RADA: Richard Lissack KC and Star of the Bar.
My guest today is Richard Lissack who is a nationally and internationally recognised barrister and is one of the handful of practitioners listed as a “Star of the Bar”.
Richard talks about his highly unusual route to becoming one of the top barristers in the UK, his pro-bono work for Jack Alderman, who was the longest-serving death row prisoner in the United States, The Bristol Royal Infirmary Heart Scandal, why you should never pre-judge people’s innocence or guilt, tips for becoming a barrister, words of wisdom on living life and how Kate Bush was spotted by Dave Gilmour – all told with great humour, insight and candour.
