Description

The Bar Issues Commission and the Access to Justice and Legal Aid Committee are collaborating on developing guidance on what works in creating a good legal aid system. The first step of the process was the very successful legal aid roundtable in conjunction with the Bar Leaders Conference in Belfast, at which many bar leaders observed the high-quality discussion of many of the world’s leading legal aid experts. The member organisations together with other IBA constituents will have received the consultation document prepared taking into consideration the findings of the legal aid roundtable, and this session will provide an opportunity to discuss early responses to the consultation document, and for the audience to give their thoughts. There will be short presentations on the most important proposed guidelines, followed by audience observations.
