YLAL on the march

Young legal aid lawyers joined hundreds of thousands of protesters against public service cuts today.

It is important that we take every opportunity to tell the Government that the brutal cuts proposed for legal aid are counterproductive and dangerous. YLAL members are committed to social justice but by slicing the legal aid budget in half, justice will become the preserve of the rich leading to increased financial and social costs. We hope the march will highlight just how many people care and will be affected by the cuts if the Government chooses not to consider alternative ways to deal with the deficit.
