Suzie Miller in conversation
We are honoured to have Suzie Miller with us to discuss her latest book, 'Inter Alia'.
Jessica is a recently appointed Judge in London, who grapples with balancing her demanding professional responsibilities with her roles as a mother, wife, friend, and feminist. She belongs to a new breed of judicial minds, working actively within the legal framework to bring morality, compassion, and human decency into an infrastructure historically built without women in mind.
In the courtroom, Jessica maintains unyielding control-stalling combative KCs, dismantling deep-seated legal prejudices, and actively working to protect vulnerable witnesses from trauma. But beneath her professional composure lies the invisible, exhausting weight of the domestic juggle. While her husband Michael, a successful criminal barrister, navigates his career with effortless privilege, Jessica finds herself quietly carrying the lion's share of the emotional and operational labour at home.
When an unexpected criminal accusation directly entangles her eighteen-year-old son, Harry, the rigid boundaries separating Jessica's workspace from her family life fracture. Forced to confront the dark realities of contemporary youth culture, peer pressure, and institutional bias, she must step off the bench to fight for her family. Inter Alia offers a searing, intimate examination of modern masculinity, motherhood, and systemic justice, revealing the fragile compromises women must make to survive under enduring patriarchal structures.
