Lawyers and legal campaigners will voice their views on legal aid at a major rally ahead of the 7 May General Election. The Vote for Justice Rally is due to take place at Central Hall, Westminster, London, on 23 April. It has been organised by the Criminal Law Solicitors’ Association (CLSA) and London Criminal Courts Solicitors’ Association. Robin Murray, CLSA vice-chair, says the rally is “to show the media and the politicians that the attacks upon legal aid are an election issue that matters”.
