Legal bloggers have been given access to the family court and family division of the High Court for the first time, as a nine-month pilot began this week. To take part, bloggers must be lawyers who hold a valid practising certificate, or work in higher education or in a charity. If the judge agrees, they will be allowed to attend and report on family proceedings. Bloggers must show photo ID and evidence that they are eligible before attending. Lucy Reed, a lawyer who campaigns for the Transparency Project charity, has published a blog about her experience as one of the first to take part.
