The balance sheet is important but humans & justice come first, says Geoffrey Bindman

Legal aid lawyers have laid out plans to roll back the ‘damage caused by LASPO [Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012] cuts’.

If the Legal Aid Agency is to have a future it should be focused on enabling access to justice not refusing legal aid, says Jon Robins

Austerity has 'gone too far' and the clock should be turned back on LASPO, Lord Bach says in an exclusive interview for NLJ this week

Steve Hynes interviewed the former legal aid minister, Lord Bach (pictured), last month to discuss The Right to Justice , the final report from the Commission he chaired on access to justice policy

Jon Robins welcomes Lord Bach’s proposal to put legal advice on a par with the right to free healthcare & education

Commission urges all parties to support a Right to Justice Act

Legal aid & the provision of legal services to the public need to be restored & expanded, says Geoffrey Bindman

Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close.
