“Sustained funding and reform are needed across the criminal justice system, which is currently failing the public it serves.” President Mark Evans says as we continue to call on the UK government to ensure that prisons meet human rights standards. ow.ly/e2GF50XMrl6

We welcome the government’s decision to increase legal aid fees, a positive milestone for access to justice, a vital public service. We tell @SolicitorsJrnl ow.ly/7Krm50XAAyJ

Jury trial reforms set to be announced bbc.com/news/articles/…

A win for justice and for the people who keep the system running: long-awaited funding for criminal legal aid agreed. 📣👇 Thanks to our advocacy work, the government has agreed to change the escape fee for police station work to be set at £650 instead of £900. This means solicitors can claim more money for work beyond the fixed fee. This win comes alongside broader long-awaited increases to criminal legal aid fees. This announcement is a step forward for the legal profession and for us all because when the criminal legal aid system benefits, we all benefit. ⚖️ Funding criminal legal aid lawyers to carry out crucial work at police stations, in magistrates’ courts, in the Crown Court, and in prisons ensures a level playing field across the system. This means that cases can be dealt with more efficiently, and that victims, witnesses, and defendants can get timely justice and fair outcomes. 🔗 While we welcome this much needed additional funding, there is still more to be done.
