Access to Justice campaign seeks feedback

The Law Society’s Access to Justice campaign is seeking feedback from lawyers and legal advisers on the challenge of trying to ensure access to justice for people in the civil and family courts. Are people losing out on access to justice? What are your experiences, particularly in light of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 cuts and Jackson reforms? The Law Society is running a series of focus groups across the country, with the first once taking place on 4 December at the Holiday Inn, Cambridge from 10.30 to 15.30. Find out more here.
