The crime consultation closes this week - on 15th October. It is important that all crime practitioners, and anyone else concerned with the future of criminal legal aid, respond. The consultation documents and reports can be found here. Vicky worked with Andrew Otterburn on the Otterburn report, which is one of the documents being consulted on - you can read their response to the consultation here. And the LCCSA and CLSA have created a "response hub" to help simplify the process of responding - you can see that here.
