We are delighted to launch the first episode of Raising the Bar for the new academic year, created and produced by Stowe School’s student-led Law Society.

In this episode, Emilia Combastet (Lyttelton Lower 6th, Deputy Head of the Law Society), Tia Sualp (Lyttelton Lower 6th), and Shaynna Obaze (Upper 6th West, Co-Chair of the Law Society) take on a topic that underpins political life in both the UK and US: the Constitution.

The discussion explores:
📜 The differences between the codified US Constitution and the UK’s uncodified framework
⚖️ The advantages and disadvantages of written versus unwritten constitutions
🌍 Real-world examples, from Brexit to 9/11, that show how constitutional flexibility (or rigidity) shapes national decision-making
💡 The ongoing debate: Should the UK adopt a written constitution, or does its current system still serve us best?

This podcast is not only an introduction to constitutional law but also a brilliant example of young people engaging critically with the frameworks that shape democracy and governance.

Congratulations to Emilia, Tia, and Shaynna on an excellent start to the series. We look forward to more insightful episodes in the weeks ahead.
