is easy for politicians to dismiss the lawyers like fish big egos, but their concerns must be heard
It's a shame that when the government released its long-awaited answer to the moral condemnation and punishment of offenders Bill Tuesday, the media and the opposition that the decision "U-turn" story distract attention from legal aid, which allows the government presented as one who takes on the views of the board.
But aside from tinkering with definitions of domestic violence, the bill is almost entirely to the original proposal regarding the case of the family (and most other regions) and the government ignored extremely negative responses to them.
legal assistance in civil matters mentioned in passing by Kenneth Clarke, after his statement to the House of Commons on the bill, which only serves as an opportunity to unite "contradictory" to all instances of the word "lawyer" with Clarke suggesting that lawyers were not worth the paper and suggests the need for advice may be received by Citizens Advice Bureaux. You can not.
It's almost poetic that the government seeks to discourage small personal conflicts and disputes contradictory nonsense, while using the same tactics to advance their own cause cuts to legal aid. Statements were announced by Ben Clarke Gummer, Conservative MP for Ipswich, which last week launched an attack on the legal profession in the Times.
Gummer laughs to concerns expressed by many respondents 5000 (pdf) at the request of legal assistance, as "outrageous special pleading" for "whining" lawyers "dress simple interest, such as care and concern . "
He managed to get almost all the way to the end of the play before succumbing to the temptation to use the "Fat Cat" epithet and then throwing the book insult "Scargill wig" so just in case. If I tell my clients to take a deep breath and refocus on the real issues.
"Unlike soldiers, nurses and teachers, which are subject to a wage freeze for two years, these courageous lawyers need more money," said Gummer. Lawyers are a breeze when it comes to politics and tactics are cheap. Any organization representing the profession, including law and society Bar Association, called for more money.
Gummer agreed that "the majority of family lawyers and attorneys are passionate about what they do and are paid very modestly." The family support plan, set up last month by introducing reductions of 12.5% ??and we now know that the lawyers of the family will receive an additional 10% in October. A pay freeze has met with applause from my colleagues. Gummer also criticized the legal profession for not saving alternative proposals: "When [the savings] is?" He asked. "In this uncomfortable issue of the Law Society, the Bar Association and FLBA [Family Law Bar Association] are largely silent, but we can boast of the regiments, hospitals and schools. " Gummer does not have such wild assumptions, and alternative proposals that have been established in response to the consultation. Indeed, as indicated by the Presidents of the Bar Association, Peter Lodder QC, and the FLBA, Stephen Cobb QC, in its written response to comments Gummer, the House of Commons Justice Committee - whose MP is a member - it there was evidence of that.
- This kind of sleight of hand is what lawyers call "unfair." And preference for this type of response to concerns 90% of 5000 responses revealed a lack of real answers. The government is going to decimate a family already struggling legal aid, without waiting to see how effectively their own proposals Family Justice Review will come in and make progress in advancing the implementation of research should be conducted to recognition to avoid (or at least manage) the likely increase in the number of litigants in person, which could lead to a collapse of the judicial system.
resolving family disputes amicably through mediation or any other method that works is to be encouraged and supported, but is effective only if supported by an important resource, accessible by the courts if necessary.
