Pro bono sector overwhelmed, but even more important in 2019. Capsticks will be doing its small bit.
03/01/19It's concerning that the deadline for the Ministry of Justice's review of the impact of legal aid cuts (the end of 2018) was missed. The MOJ has promised a review in early 2019.
Capsticks will be continuing its support of the weekly South West London Law Centre clinic in Wimbledon with free general litigation and employment law queries from our team of experts - the first clinic of 2019 will start at 7pm on Tuesday 8 January 2019 at the Wimbledon Guild. It's completely free and we're here to help.
The Civil Justice Council, chaired by Master of the Rolls Sir Terence Etherton, said demand for pro bono services has increased ‘dramatically’ since the scope and eligibility of legal aid was restricted from 2013 by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act
