Law Shifters Audio Documentary by Stine Marie Jacobsen

This is an audio recorded session ​with a group of teenagers from the Youth Programme at South London Gallery, who re-judge a real court case on racial profiling and write their own Stop and Search Laws.

Law Shifters animates and informs other young listeners about how they can have a direct effect on laws today. More info on Law Shifters:

Law Shifters engages young citizens in law and democracy by giving them the chance to act as both judges and lawmakers. What would your verdict be to real court cases, and how would you rewrite the laws in your country so that they would be more fair?

The Law Shifters project makes young people discuss their political opinions, ethical views and sense of justice as they re-judge real court cases and write new law proposals that reflect the reality that they are part of today.

With the current discussions on direct democracy, legal (un)realisable proposals from citizens could play an important role on the political stage. Law Shifters strengthens young people’s democratic education in a serious yet humorous and creative way and deals with existing regulations and legislations in Europe.
