We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Scrap Lord Carters Legal Aid Reforms. More details
Submitted by Cathie Halliday – Deadline to sign up by: 22 January 2008 – Signatures: 4,625
If the reforms are brought into action. It is widely predicted that many legal aid law firms will stop doing legal aid work. This will leave the most vulnerable in society at very real risk, including women and children subject to abuse. In some areas there will be no access for justice. In many areas it will be greatly reduced. It is important that this does not happen. Today, I helped a woman and her four children escape a violent husband. Don't make me and many others give up this valuable work!
