Abstract

Access to justice is not a privilege, it is a core element of any fair and democratic society. Yet in England and Wales today, the legal assistance framework is broken. It is a system teetering on the edge, failing many of the people it was designed to protect.

On 1 April, the Legal Services Consumer Panel launched the report Regulatory Leadership on Access to Justice, which I co-authored alongside Professor Jane Ching and Professor Jane Jarman from Nottingham Law School. It highlights further practical, research-backed approaches including health justice partnerships, secondary consultations, expanded paralegal regulation, and stronger continuing professional development requirements for legal professionals around access to justice and ethics. These steps are not only achievable, but necessary.
