Recently, I have seen those whose determination I respect, despair and those I aspire to emulate, leave. Announcements by the Ministry of Justice have pushed both the profession and the system to breaking point.
Criminal barristers do not do this lightly. We do it because it's the only way we can try to protect the criminal justice system.
You might not think it matters - until you are a victim, a witness, or accused of a crime. We're doing this for you.

On the Cardiff Crown Court case yesterday, Richard Miller, our Head of Justice: “We are aware & gravely concerned about what we have heard. We're liaising with the firm to establish the full facts, what further steps should be taken and what we can do to support them."

Delighted (& petrified) to have been interviewed for BBC Sunday Politics today talking about the sucession and retention crisis + access to justice. Thank you to @TheLawSociety for asking me to talk about such an important subject. I hope the editor does justice by my comments
Here are the details following my interview today outside of @TheLawSociety. I hope the Justice Minister will agree with me when I say there is a price on justice - I look forward to finding out who will provide criminal legal aid in future given the succession & retention crisis https://t.co/Ue3BxlIipF
