“As solicitors, our words and language matter.” President  @lubnashuja writes in @lawsocgazette about the importance of reframing important issues, as we set out to understand how people think about the #RuleOfLaw and #AccessToJustice. ow.ly/E9yR50PV8Xq

As solicitors and communicators, our words and language matter. Our frames matter. They shape how our actions, our clients, and our profession are seen and understood by the wider public and decision-makers.

That is why, at the start of this year, the Law Society partnered with FrameWorks UK – a not-for-profit research organisation which specialises in how to frame important issues – to run our Reframing Justice programme.

The aim of this programme is to shape a long-term strategic communications approach to build public support and political will for ensuring the justice system is protected and applies to everyone equally.

The solicitor profession has a duty to protect the justice system and uphold the rule of law. But right now, both are under attack.

This broader challenge of defending and mobilising support for the values necessary to sustain and protect justice and the rule of law requires a different, ambitious and long-term approach.

The work the Law Society is doing with FrameWorks can help us meet this challenge.
