‼️Access to Justice is in Crisis ‼️ The administration of our Legal Aid system is creating an ever decreasing circle of legal professionals who can provide their advice & representation to citizens & serve the interests of our justice system. We are calling on the Department of Justice to recognise the access to justice crisis and act with urgency to address it. This starts with, as a minimum, action on crippling payment delays for Legal Aid work and fees which have remained static since 2005. #accesstojusticeincrisis

Another Practice Note adding to the burden of criminal defence lawyers without any additional resource to deliver it from @ScotGovJustice . How are the few providers left seriously expected to carry on? #DefendLegalAid

Owners of criminal legal aid firms have met to consider whether to continue to provide legal aid advice following advice from the law society. The failure to implement recommended rises has meant many cases are conducted at a loss. The law soc has advised firms should not act in

⚖️ If the MoJ “doesn’t demonstrate very swiftly that it is serious about making criminal legal aid work sustainable, we will advise our members that there is no future in this work.” We tell @lawsocgazette, as it examines legal aid and the govt. ow.ly/BFWo50TzQhF

We are at @CrimeSolicitors’s annual conference in Liverpool promoting our @DefendLegalAid campaign. If you’re a legal worker of any stripe join your union today!
Despite the High Court ruling in Jan 2024 that highlighted “the system is slowly coming apart at the seams” and part of the Govt. proposal for funding legal aid criminal defence was unlawful, the dial hasn't moved. So, we must move it 👇 bit.ly/Join-Unite #DefendLegalAid
We need all #legalworkers to stand together, join unite and #DefendLegalAid. Visit the link below to learn more about the campaign. @lccsa, @unite_LW 👇 bit.ly/DLA_Unite

"the LCCSA have launched the Defend Legal Aid campaign to urge our members to join Unite the Union, whose Legal Sector Workers’ branch is ready and waiting to represent the interests of the rank and file in their fight for more investment into criminal legal aid as a means of securing better pay and conditions." defendlegalaid.co.uk
"Legal aid rates have fallen by more than 30% in real terms at a time when the cost of living, and the costs of running a business have ballooned. ‘Firms have neither the capacity nor the resources to help staff 24-hour court sessions, even in the short term." #DefendLegalAid
