The Bar Council’s Anglo-Dutch Exchange is taking place again this year from 9-12 July. Having joined last year I can highly recommend joining. Apply here by 19 April @thebarcouncil : barcouncil.org.uk/support-for-ba…

Senior Presiding Judge, Edis LJ, has asked judges to adjourn, from next week, the sentencing of offenders who are on bail where custody is likely to be imposed. The prison estate is full.

@nashoban_info @GoldsmithCrime @thebarcouncil @YoungBarristers No they don’t have barristers in the same way as we do - all lawyers are have rights of audience, so there isn’t the distinction between solicitors/barristers. More info at the Nederlandse Orde Van Advocaten advocatenorde.nl/english

@GoldsmithCrime @dmackbarr @thebarcouncil @YoungBarristers Sorry, I have to take the opportunity. Do the Dutch have Barristers? The Bar is very important to the US but there are no Barristers (or all Lawyers are Barristers). I would expect the Dutch to have Civil Law, so the job would be similar but different

Bloody hell - it properly exists!

@LawAspi @thebarcouncil We will be restarting mini-pupillages very soon - keep an eye out on our website for more details in the coming weeks: goldsmithchambers.com/careers/

Interested in a criminal pupillage, with a chance to explore other areas of practice? Come and see us at stand 81 @thebarcouncil #pupillagefair2022

Does £10.30 an hour on a murder case seem reasonable to you @MoJGovUK @DominicRaab @Dines4Dales? Or does that sound "irresponsible"?That is what I will be paid for defending a vulnerable teenager charged with the most serious of criminal offences. (Thread 1/4)

The only ones responsible for holding ‘justice to ransom’ are those who have failed to fund a functioning justice system. Yes, it is bringing ‘heartbreak to victims’ but this falls on @DominicRaab & Government, not @TheCriminalBar. Time for honesty and action. #enoughisenough

From 5 September, justice will grind to a complete standstill due to all out strike action from @TheCriminalBar . @DominicRaab has refused to meet with CBA and stop this escalating justice crisis. His inaction is causing serious harm to all victims of crime in this country.

Our members have made the difficult decision to adopt the current action on an indefinite basis from 05 September. This is about more than just money. This is about safeguarding the future viability and fitness of the CJS for all who become involved in it.

Criminal barristers have attended Parliament to lobby their MPs regarding the crisis in the Criminal Justice System

@JohnCryerMP,on Monday 18 July there will be a meeting at the Palace of Westminster to encourage all MPs to pull together and address the crisis engulfing criminal courts. As your constituent, I urge you to attend the meeting and give us the courtesy of listening. @TheCriminalBar
