Barristers Unite for Justice: The Importance of Jury Trials

The leader of a major legal profession in England is praising its members through visible leadership support and the importance of unity in the face of changes in the legal environment in England, congratulations! Justice News247 supports and stands alongside legal professions in amicably resolving problems and finding solutions.

Thank you to all the barristers and circuit leaders who hosted or spoke with MPs today as part of our court constituency day.

The visits provided cross-party politicians the opportunity to understand how the criminal justice system operates, what issues are causing the delays and hear from barristers and court staff why curtailing jury trials is not the answer.

There was also discussions on the lack of investment, delays to prisoner transport, tech and equipment failure, and barrister burnout.

On Tuesday, the work continues…

We are hosting an MP lobby day in Westminster.

Please write to your MP and ask them to attend our lobby day to discuss the issues and concerns around the government’s proposal to restrict the right to jury trial.
