Episode Synopsis

In this introductory episode of Law Insights with Rose, I outline the vision and purpose of the podcast — to create meaningful conversations around the law and highlight its relevance in our daily lives.

The discussion begins with practical examples of how the law impacts everyday choices, such as contracts, leases, and the purchase of a vehicle. I then address a common legal misconception concerning wills, with reference to National Wills Week in South Africa.

The episode concludes with an analysis of a recent Constitutional Court ruling exploring whether a man may adopt his wife’s surname, raising the critical question: Should the law always prioritise equality, even if it challenges cultural traditions?
