NLJ this week: Stars of legal aid

© Copyright LexisNexis 2026. All Rights Reserved.

With nominations open for this year’s Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards (LALYs), now is the time to celebrate those on the frontline of social justice.

In this week’s NLJ, LALY co-founder Fiona Bawdon and Legal Aid Practitioners Group CEO Chris Minnoch trace the origins of the LALYs, noting that ‘as the climate for legal aid lawyers and their clients has become bleaker, so the significance of the awards and the warmth of the profession’s affection for the LALYs has grown.’

Previous winners share their pride in having their achievements recognised at the LALYs, and the team gears up for this year’s awards—no less special for being virtual.
