Jo Murray was raised in Teesside in the 1980s, when girls who lived on council estates were told they definitely could not be lawyers. Jo ignored everyone, successfully becoming the first person in her family to go to university. She studied Classics at Newcastle University before going to law school and working as a criminal barrister in Leeds. She eventually left the profession to care for her two children. Jo now lives in Yarm, a market town in the north-east of England.
