CULSCAST: The CULS Podcast

Welcome to CULSCAST 🎙️the new Podcast from the Cambridge University Law Society, one of the world’s oldest and largest student-run societies, founded in 1901.

Our Publicity team 📢 is pleased to be debuting this new initiative, which aims to bring the Cambridge law community closer together.

Our new ‘CULSCAST Conversations’ series and ‘CULS Speakers Select’ series provide exclusive discussion about law and legal careers for our members. ‘CULSCAST Conversations’ is our interview-style forum hosted by the CULS Publicity Team; ‘CULS Speakers Select’ has been made in collaboration with the CULS Speakers Department to make the most recent CULS talks by eminent speakers, leaders in their respective fields about issues crucial to the modern legal world, readily accessible to our membership.

In the past, CULS have had the pleasure of hearing from such distinguished speakers as Justice of the Supreme Court, The Right Hon Lord Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony; Master of the Rolls, Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury; and former President of the International Court of Justice, Dame Rosalyn Higgins. Therefore, we have also made our archived collection of 2012-2023 CULS lectures and debates easily available through CULSCAST.

The Last Human Right, or its Antithesis? Assisted Suicide, Euthanasia, the Right to Life and the Right to Choose the Timing and Manner of Death - Paul Bowen QC: CULS Lecture Mar 08, 2013

Show notes

Paul Bowen QC spoke about "The Last Human Right, or its Antithesis? Assisted Suicide, Euthanasia, the Right to Life and the Right to Choose the Timing and Manner of Death" on Friday 25th January 2013 at the Faculty of Law, as a guest on the regular CULS speaker programme,

Law Society Advocate of the Year 2009 and counsel for Tony Nicklinson in the widely publicised euthanasia case in August 2012, Paul Bowen QC is a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers specialising in public law and human rights, with a particular interest in cases involving serious medical treatment, the right of autonomy and the right to life. In the Divisional Court, he argued that the law "encourages those with the means to Switzerland. For those without the means it offers 'Hobson's Choice' of amateur DIY death or continued suffering. Those who cannot end their own life are left to suffer".

Mr Bowen acted for Debbie Purdy in her successful challenge to the DPP's policy on assisted suicide prosecutions in 2008 and also represented Peter Sutcliffe in his tariff-setting appeal in December 2010.
