The Criminal Justice System is in meltdown. Courts have become breeding grounds for the virus. Thousands of decent men and women are putting their health and lives at risk to keep trials running. Bring in daily testing or shut court doors NOW @HMCTSgovuk

Luke, your experience is utterly unacceptable but sadly still shared by far too many of our black colleagues at the bar. It has got to stop. I encourage any black and brown barristers who have faced similar treatment to contact me and I will ensure @TheCriminalBar acts decisively

Just another day... mistaken as the Defendant in the Magistrates Court by the list caller...

Time to put an end to the futility and the folly of the EOH scheme. It was always dead on arrival, and it now needs to be buried once and for all. It’s been a red line for so many of us who believe in an INCLUSIVE profession where every one of us gets an EQUAL chance to work.

The CBA@TheCriminalBar

Extended Operating Hours is discriminatory.

Criminal barristers should be able to work their cases regardless of gender, race, faith or caring commitments.

A tweet doesn’t do it justice.

Read our letter to @CEOofHMCTS and our extensive EOH report.
