    The government knowingly grew the backlog in the Crown Courts by selling off the courts. To fix it, they now suggest restricting jury trials and forcing legal professionals to work evenings & weekends for free. They built a Nightingale Hospital in 9 days. Build. More. Courts.

    Say no to evening and weekend courts. Sign this open letter to Colleagues, now is the time to stand up and be counted. Names wont be released until at least 250 crime solicitors and barristers have signed.

    I've been asked: has the lockdown affected access to justice? Wondering what others think.

    IF somehow Scooch are reading this, I’m very sorry. I just wanted to post something inane and I now feel incredibly guilty. You don’t deserve derision from faceless goons on Twitter. You were truly flying the flag for us. And you didn’t even claim for it on expenses.

    Just had a panic that Scooch were on Twitter and would get snitch-tagged in this thread and I’d have to spend all day apologising and explaining that I did actually find them jolly good fun and no it’s probably not fair to compare them to Liam Fox. But I don’t think they are.

    Law Students (UG and PG), we want to hear from you about your experience of studying during a pandemic. Grab a cuppa, get comfy and fill in our survey - it is a bit long but we think it is really important to hear from you - more detail the better please!

    An important topic. My two cents: criminal justice is a public function. The existence of private prosecutors distorts that vital premise, and increases the risk of partisan or botched prosecutions, and therefore miscarriages of justice.

    The loss of yet another great woman from criminal law. The reasons make for grim but realistic and rational reading.

    If you want to know why lawyers are (a) not fooled by and (b) furious at the use of the inverted language of 'flexible operating hours', here is a thread to explain exactly what they should mean, and exactly what they don't.

    There are some enormously serious questions here about the civil service's response to the crisis, and the failure to consider outsourced employees:

    Now is not the time to introduce major reforms of the jury system, however temporary and however limited. And senior judges should not be flying kites for the government, not least because the wind can change. My latest column for now online

    We are instinctively cross about anything called “flexible” hours because - they won’t be. We instinctively *know* we will bear the brunt of them. We know we are cleaning up someone else’s mess. But imagine if they *could* be. Imagine if they could work for us. A thread👇🏼👇🏼

    In Mississipi a convicted prisoner is given a record of everything said at his trial. In England and Wales he has to pay for a transcript, which costs £1.13 (plus VAT) per 72 words.
