  • Dr Laura Janes
    Using the law to make a difference Some reflections by Laura Janes They say that if you are not outraged, you are not paying attention. On outrage, attention and change Growing up, I was incensed by the injustice of the racism I saw around me where I lived in East London. The family of my local hairdresser was killed in their own home by a petrol bomb in a racist attack. My mum and I went to local anti-racist demonstrations and campaigned locally. The more I learned about the world around me, the more outrage I felt. I set up an amnesty group at school, and then university and continued to campaign on various issues. But I quickly became frustrated. It seemed to me that telling people what they should do, or not do, rarely worked. I formed the view that only the law could make people do the right thing. So I became a lawyer. Although I soon realised that the law has failed if it is only for lawyers. Law is not a secret weapon: is only effective if people know about it and it is respected. Public legal education, access to high quality legal information for ordinary people, decision makers and lawyers, is essential. Organisations like Legal Action Group, which I chair are key. 1 Why being a lawyer for change means fighting for access to justice or why I started YLAL On entering practice, I also found out that becoming a lawyer does not mean you can make a difference when you need to. There is the question of access to justice.

  • LAPG Announces Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Awards 2021 Finalists
    PRESS RELEASE - 19 May 2021 LAPG announces Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards 2021 finalists A housing barrister who is playing a leading role in challenging 'No DSS' landlords; and a solicitor who defended the parents of 'Jihadi Jack' Letts, have been honoured by this year's LALY awards judges. The pair are among 26 individuals and nine organisations chosen as finalists in the Legal Aid Practitioners Group 2021 Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards. 2021 sees the introduction of a new Disability Rights award: finalists selected for this inaugural award are: Amy Butler, Atkins & Palmer; Kate Jackson, MJC Law; and Kirsty Stuart, Irwin Mitchell. Organisations shortlisted this year cover a wide geographical spread, including: Watkins & Gunn, in Cardiff; Law Centre Northern Ireland, in Belfast; Family Law Company, in Exeter; and Cartwright King, in the Midlands. Chris Minnoch, CEO of LAPG, which organises the LALY awards on a not-for-profit basis to celebrate the work of social justice lawyers, says: ‘This year's finalists give an insight into the range, depth and breadth of the incredible life- changing work that social justice lawyers do - and the vital role they play in ensuring access to justice for individuals, families and communities. It is testimony to the importance of the LALY awards to the legal aid sector that we had a bumper crop of compelling and inspiring nominations this year - despite the extreme pressures we are all facing due to the pandemic.’ Finalists in the Legal Aid Barrister category are: Tessa Buchanan (Garden Court Chambers), recognised for a run of cases establishing that banning DSS tenants is discriminatory against women and disabled people; Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh (Matrix Chambers), who helped overturn the convictions of the 'Stansted 15' protestors; and Stephen Lue (Garden Court Chambers), praised for his skilful handling of complex child abduction cases.
