The future of legal aid & litigants in person: can we safeguard access to justice?

Access to justice for those who cannot afford legal representation has become an increasingly pressing issue in the justice system over the last few years.

This Halsbury's Law Exchange panel discussion on 22 September, chaired by Joshua Rozenberg, will bring together leaders and representatives from the government, the judiciary, the profession and the pro-bono and legal aid community to discuss reforms to legal aid and the priorities for the future. It will seek to explore pragmatic solutions to support unrepresented litigants and safeguard access to justice.

Halsbury's Law Exchange is an independent legal think tank that supports the Rule of Law in the UK by promoting an effective legal framework and stimulating public debate on major issues.​
