LALY Oscar extension

Deadline for LALY awards now 30 April

The deadline for nominations for this year’s LALY’s (Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards) has been extended to 30 April. This year’s awards will be the last in their current form due to the changes facing the legal aid scheme. However, Carol Storer, director of the Legal Aid Practitioners Group, said the awards, now in their 11th year, will continue. More information is available at: www.lapg.co.uk/LALY-awards. Storer says: “It is more important than ever that collectively we take the opportunity of the 2013 LALY awards to recognise the invaluable contribution that legal aid practitioners make to social justice and the rule of law.”
