Criminal barristers in England and Wales are going on indefinite strike on Monday after the government failed to meet their demand to raise legal aid fees following years of cuts. We’d like to hear your views on the matter.
Do you support the strike to raise legal aid fees? Why or why not? If you are a criminal barrister going on strike, could you tell us more about your and your colleagues’ experiences with the legal aid fees? We’d also like to hear to year from others working in the criminal justice system in England and Wales – will this strike affect your life in any way? If so, how?
