A committal for sentence costs a minimum of £384.98 + vat. So, today the @MoJGovUK has just announced a cut to legal aid fees via the sentencing reforms, on the day the @TheCriminalBar threatens strike action.
I promised myself in the new year I would stop working at 8pm, but there I was at 11.30pm finishing a skele 🤣🤣

Anyway, I have two tasks today: 1. Fight this jet lag 😖 2. Remind myself it is no longer acceptable to have a cocktail before noon 😅
It’s so important to take time off. First time in years that I really switched off from work and actually relaxed 😌. Feeling refreshed & kind of excited to go back to work 🙊

Exciting times. We welcome Amy Packham, Jonathon Atkinson, Chris Prior and Ed Hand to Lamb Building. We are proud to have you with us @LambBuilding @LBCrimeTeam
I’m determined to not sleep at 1/2am this week doing work. However, I’m about to start a 4day trial 🤣 so perhaps this is wishful thinking 🤔

As part of the #LambBuildingSummerSchool, we are running two advocacy exercises in breakout rooms where some of our wonderful tenants (including @FamilyLawGuruUK, @_JasvirSingh, @GabCompton, @moodybarrister) are providing feedback to attendees.
