In court today, I was asked subsequently by two barristers not to report things that they had said in open court. Perhaps there needs to be better media training for barristers - what say you, The Bar Council? I know a freelance hack who could oblige.
In The Brief this week from The Times and The Sunday Times, read Catherine Baksi's latest In Conversation column, a chat with Aika Stephenson, founder of Just for Kids Law. thetimes.co.uk/article/i-want…
Read Catherine Baksi in the law pages of yesterday's The Times and The Sunday Times on the resurrection of fees for employment tribunals. thetimes.co.uk/article/tribun…
‘I wanted to be the person who could get him out of there’
The co-founder of Just for Kids Law tells The Brief from Times Law how a wish to protect her father turned into a passion for youth justice — & why many children should not be in the system at all.

“The inference could be drawn that the real aim of [the reintroduction of employment tribunal fees] is to deter claims, which will in turn obstruct access to justice for the most vulnerable people in need of legal intervention,” Caspar Glyn KC tells Times Law thetimes.co.uk/article/tribun…
Excellent piece by Catherine Baksi interviewing Just for Kids Law Co-founder Aika Stephenson:
'Detaining children is damaging, expensive and 'not rehabilitative', especially for the significant numbers with complex needs or learning disabilities.'
Good article by Catherine Baksi highlighting the potential for proposed £55 ET fees to impede access to justice & disproportionately impact the poor whilst costing more to administer than it’ll receive in fees paid.
