It is still worth mentioning as if there are less young lawyers attracted to the profession and experienced ones are being removed as they are unable to comply with these requirements, there will be even less lawyers to represent these vulnerable clients.

I think the Victoria Derbyshire thing should be about thier  clients not the lawyers

 

I think this campaign has been driven by Adam Makepeace / Richard Atkinson , so might be difficult , but no reason why we cant state the point

Any chance of tying in the loss of all the experienced Duty solicitors being removed from the Rotas for failure to meet the 14 hour requirements? 


I’ve spoken to 3 women (20+ years experience each) today who have been removed in the last 3 weeks. 

 

There will soon be no Duty solicitors at all.

Please can someone help

 

The law society are launching a campaign tomorrow pointing out the lack of young lawyers being attracted to criminal law .

 

This will be featured on Victoria Derbyshire tomorrow and they need a client who has been represented at the police station  by a duty solicitor leading to charges being dropped /refused .

 

The client needs to be available and willing go on tomorrow .

Please email me if you can assist .

 

They do have a candidate but they wont be able to travel  into the studio from their base in Cornwall .

 

This is a great opportunity to maintain momentum and keep the issue of legal aid cuts in the public eye , especially with the Vigil for Justice on Wednesday night (see attached flyer )

 

For obvious reasons , this request isn’t being posted on twitter , but will be on the closed SUKJ  justice FB group
