Attending the Westminster Commission on Legal Aid today discussing criminal legal aid. Enjoying hearing frontline practitioners share their experience of system problems pre-covid and exacerbated by it. Change is so needed for fairer access to justice @APPGLegalAid #WeAreLegalAid

Feeling very ready for reading week. Only one more day of tutorials now then I can have a little rest before revision starts!

More #FakeLaw from @pritipatel’s fundamentally dishonest Home Office.

“Convicted foreign criminals” have absolutely *NOTHING* to do with the asylum system.

The @ukhomeoffice is spreading false information and should immediately issue a correction and an apology.

I thought I’d explain what happened today because I’m absolutely exhausted and tbh I think a light needs to be shone on this. Especially given so many people like me seem to experience the same thing.

[Aimee Hadfield @aimee_hadfield]

So proud to have got my GDL results today, achieving a Commendation overall! Here’s onto the next stage, after a few proseccos of course!🥰

[Olliers Solicitors @ollierssltd]

So glad you enjoyed it. Lovely to meet you Aimee.

[Aimee Hadfield @aimee_hadfield]

Had a great week at @ollierssltd! Everyone on the team is lovely and I’ve learnt a lot from the whole experience. Thanks again for having me!

[Olliers Solicitors @ollierssltd]

Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow Aimee. Hope you enjoy your week with us.

[Aimee Hadfield @aimee_hadfield]

@ollierssltd Thank you!

[Aimee Hadfield @aimee_hadfield]

Super excited to be starting my internship this week with @ollierssltd, my first time experiencing a criminal law firm!

[Aimee Hadfield @aimee_hadfield]

Wow what a month August has been..today marks the end of eight exams and (hopefully!) the GDL. Now for some celebratory wine!

[The Law Society @TheLawSociety]

We condemn a Home Office video referring to immigration lawyers who provide legal advice to migrants as ‘activist lawyers’.
Solicitors advise their clients on *their rights under the laws created by parliament*

Really enjoyed tonight’s #YLMC2020 talk, glad to hear from so many inspiring panellists and feel very determined to contribute towards future, very needed, change. Also, @EssexBarrister’s book is one I’ll defo read once exams are done! @YLALawyers #YoungLawyersMakingChange

[Young Legal Aid Lawyers @YLALawyers]

BREAKING: govt concedes that new “fixed fees” regs for immigration legal aid work are unlawful and will be revoked

Huge congrats to the legal teams in the successful JRs!

Thanks to everyone who supported our #APrayerForLegalAid campaign

Today is the first week down of exams! Three out of eight completed which feels great. Now, after a little well-needed break, onto the next couple featuring some lovely cards off my parents and @miss_clt ❤️

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

The backlog in the Crown Court - caused by government cuts - is so great that the MoJ intends to restrict the right to jury trial and force legal professionals to work evenings and weekends for free.

This populist gesture will simply funnel even more cases into that backlog.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

He’s threatening to remove the right to jury trial to deal with a court backlog caused by his own government’s cuts to the courts.

A two-year maximum sentence for assaults that don’t cause injury will not make any emergency worker any safer, and will only increase that backlog.

Completed my first law essay last week. Such a different experience to the essays I wrote for my undergraduate degree but I’m happy with my submission! Now I just have to focus on revisision..for eight exams😅
