Barlinnie in 'wretchedly poor state' as new prison waits mount | The Herald - might be an idea to fund criminal defence properly and reduce the backlog of those on remand. #SaveLegalAid https://t.co/KysL1nzGx3

@mickbrick54 It was a really interesting discussion and I don't think many realise how bad thing are. We never know when we might need a Legal Aid just the same as we don't know when we might need an ambulance. Both can have life changing outcomes.
@TheLawSociety @AlexChalkChelt Read @JustAccesseV1's Public Statement, in which we join @TheLawSociety's call for @AlexChalkChelt and the UK Government to #SaveLegalAid

Congratulations, @TheLawSociety! This judgment is an important vindication of #AccesstoJustice
The UK Government and Lord Chancellor @AlexChalkChelt should now move swiftly to implement the principles of the Bellamy Review and #SaveLegalAid
🚨‼️ NEWS: High Court rules in the Law Society’s favour following our judicial review against the government.
The judgment confirmed the government’s decision-making on criminal legal aid funding was irrational.
We now urge the current Lord Chancellor, @AlexChalkChelt to safeguard the future of criminal legal aid and meet the key recommendation of the Bellamy report, a 15% legal aid rates rise.
The government must also commit to ensuring that criminal legal aid rates become and remain economically viable in the long term.
Our president Nick Emmerson said: “We are delighted the High Court has recognised that then-Lord Chancellor, Dominic Raab’s decision was irrational.
“It must be remembered that Lord Bellamy made that recommendation more than two years ago and said it was the bare minimum needed.
"Reversing Raab’s irrational decision would demonstrate the government is serious about ensuring that we have a criminal justice system worthy of the name.
“We are keen to work with the Lord Chancellor to help take the necessary steps to safeguard the future of this crucial profession.”
@AccessCharity1 @KGerstheimer @WeAreLAPG @GoughLainey Thank you for inviting me to be part of the podcast. It’s so important that we keep talking about the state of the #LegalAid scheme and the importance of areas like Community Care and CoP, and keep pressing the MoJ for positive change.

Very difficult conversation with two clients last night explaining why I couldn’t represent them in the Custody Court today. But the profession is at crisis point and the SG have to take notice. @GlasgowBarAssoc #savelegalaid
The are not!!!! The Courts are in the same state they were in pre Covid with backlog because of the cuts this Government imposed. #pmqs #savelegalaid
Q2: With the family justice system being so chronically underfunded, does the family law community have an ethical obligation to stop offering pro bono services? Has industrial action become necessary, and might this be what it would look like? #FamilyLawHour

We may be #keyworkers but we’re the last on any list for being protected in a pandemic - whether acting for defence or prosecution. #Crime may be a dirty business, but upholding the #RuleOfLaw shouldn’t be. #CriminalJustice #savelegalaid

Civil legal issues can be serious & life-altering, but there is no constitutional right to a lawyer in every civil case. Even before #COVID19, lean funding limited capacity & forced #legalaid orgs to turn away the majority of low-income people who sought help. #SaveLegalAid
