Fantastic news and totally well deserved!

Always happy to help whenever I can with the brilliant work you do. Pro-bono has never been more important.

So right

Great awareness-raising campaign by Özgürlük için Hukukçular Derneği on behalf of political prisoners in Turkey. Barrister Tony Fisher: Political detainees, lawyers, human rights defenders, journalists and should be released. Life is a paramount right. #Turkey

We want to support the Government to get this right and that is why we need a national consensus on what happens next.

I will respectfully challenge the Government - I want our country to succeed. However, I will not 'watch my tone' when dozens of NHS and care staff are dying unnecessarily. A clip of my Q to the Health Sec today.

Latest stats for Legal Aid Jan-March 2020 gov.uk/government/sta… shows criminal legal aid down by 40%, mediation + legal help starts down by a third in April (via Legal Action Group) and image showing the full scale of the #laspo access to justice catastrophe (via Nimrod B. )

The changes are explained in the explanatory note referred to above and in this article. I can't quite follow from statutory instrument when the 22.5 hour change came in but it is normally you can only confine a child for 10 hours. cypnow.co.uk/news/article/c… Anyway, worrying /175

Ebru Timtik. Victim of a heartless state. All she wanted was a fair trial. For her. for Aytac. for all. Turkey must find a better way. Lawyers of the world unite. For justice, for fairness and for truth. RIP Ebru. We respect you and we always will.

So so sad.

It is time the lawyers in the UK stood up and tried to stop this government from breaching our international obligations. That way is a very bad way for the rule of law. If they can ignore these obligations what will be next?

I am delighted to announce a webinar on 'Assessing risk of harm in private law children cases' with Prof Rosemary Hunter and HHJ Williscroft. Reg interest at [email protected] 5pm 16 September.
