YLAL Statement on criminal legal aid

YLAL is concerned that the government has decided to proceed with plans to cut criminal legal aid by a further 8.75%, introduce dual contracts for Duty and Own Client work and restrict the number of Duty contracts available to 527 without any further consultation with the profession, other than an email 48 hours before the cuts were announced, asking for information to be provided within 24 hours on the impact on firms of the initial 8.75% cut. This can in no way be seen to be a proper consultation.

YLAL Event, 08.07.2015

On Wednesday 8 July 2015 at 6 pm, we will be meeting at Brick Court Chambers for an exciting talk by barristers Paul Bowen QC (Brick Court Chambers), Alison Pickup (Doughty Street Chambers) and solicitor Roopa Tanna (Islington Law Centre).
