#167 Laws & Justice

Michael Lavers
About this episode

Here's an idea from one of my group classes - laws and justice. I think it's a really interesting topic to discuss. 

  • Are there any laws we shouldn't be following?
  • What laws would you make?
  • What laws would you abolish?

We also look at a few good and relevant expressions here. Hope you enjoy it!
