Sound off for Justice

The government faced intense lobbying over its legal aid reforms this week, as the Law Society put forward a raft of alternative measures to preserve the legal aid budget. The Society also launched a high-profile internet campaign, ‘Sound off for justice’, aimed at making members of the public aware of how legal aid cuts will affect them and asking members of the public to sign up to oppose legal aid cuts. The site warns that ‘over 30 million British people are about to be silenced by the government’ by losing their right to legal representation.
