CBA Young Bar Consultation: Magistrates’ Fees
Dear Junior Criminal Barristers,
Those of us who practice in the magistrates’ and youth courts are aware of how dire the situation is when it comes to fees.
One of our priorities this year is to seek an increase into legal aid magistrates’ court cases, something which hasn’t happened for a very long time.
In order for us to be able to properly put forward a case, we need data to show there is a need.
I therefore, ask that you please complete the survey so that we can make our case.
As always, any questions, feel free to contact us.
Best wishes,
Zayd Ahmed
Chair
Young Criminal Bar Committee
