Nominations have opened for the annual LALY awards―legal aid’s answer to the Oscars
The Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Awards, now in their 18th year, celebrate the dedicated and often unsung work legal aid lawyers do.
The deadline for nominations is 3 April, and this year three extra categories are introduced: Regional legal aid firm/not-for-profit agency, legal aid team and mental capacity law. The winners will be announced at a ceremony in central London on 7 July.
Chris Minnoch, CEO of the Legal Aid Practitioners Group, which runs the LALYs, said: ‘Given the current political climate, it is hard for those of us who care about access to justice to find much to cheer about―which is why these awards are now much more important than ever.’
