I am doing a podcast soon with Steve Hynes, Director of The Legal Action Group (LAG) as part of my current series of podcasts on civil liberties and human rights. We plan to focus on Legal Aid (or the lack of it) in civil cases and access to justice issues. LAG has a book on Legal Aid coming out in mid-March and e’ll certainly mention that in our podcast.
Steve is the director of the Legal Action Group (LAG). LAG is a charity that through its publishing and training services plays an important role in increasing lawyers’ and advisers’ knowledge of the law. It also carries out policy and campaigning work mainly focused on publicly funded legal services, advocating for the voice of the end-user to be heard.
Other Lawcasts on Civil Liberties in the series so far :
Roger Smith, Director of Justice on civil liberties and human rights
Michael Burdett, Unbalancing the Scales of Justice
Carl Gardner, on the Qatada judgement
Carl Gardner on Freedom of Speech – the Geert Wilders exclusion
