The Justice Alliance is holding a Vigil for Justice outside the Ministry of Justice on 18 April, 7pm-8pm, to protest against legal aid cuts and budget cuts in the justice system, and to warn that too many people are being priced out of justice, unable to secure legal representation, seek legal advice or afford to take legal action. The Alliance says the justice system is in crisis with staff paying the price for unprecedented budget cuts and thousands of job cuts since 2010. At the same time more than 250 courts have closed in England and Wales. All lawyers and legal professionals, whether working in civil, criminal or family law are invited to attend, and several chambers, law firms and organisations have already pledged their support.
