Over 3,200 legal professionals including 22 retired judges and 303 KCs have written to the Prime Minister urging him not to reduce our jury trials. Barristers enable complainants/victims/survivors and defendants to give their evidence in court. Barristers want to lift the criminal justice system out of the crisis. Barristers have pioneered proposals to reduce delays and welcome their implementation. They need to happen urgently. Juries do not cause the unacceptable delays and are not the remedy to reduce delays. @thebarcouncil #JusticeNeedsJuries





Pretty sure I'm one of the folks Mark's subtweeting. While I don’t feel compelled to respond, this actually provides a beautiful lesson for how academics and other serious observers might think about engaging with the Court and law. (thread, trying again after lots of typos)

Have a feeling that things are about to get very precedented.
