One of our strategies for advancing the #RuleofLaw is re-investing our Apprenticeship Levy return in providing training for lawyers in free legal advice communities. We want to ensure that the lawyers on the front line of access to justice have the training and support they need.
Law students interested in climate issues: free panel event 25 Jan 5pm, from @LawBookFacility on the role lawyers can have in tackling the climate emergency. Fantastic experts and a fascinating topic - joining details here: ilbf.org.uk/2023/01/2023-onl…

Why is the free legal advice community so important?
While legal aid providers throughout the country are doing everything within their power to help, millions live in areas with high need and little to no providers.

Thanks James. It's important that we come together as a sector to promote change and capitalise on the leadership shown by @LexisNexisUK. #WeDoProBono #RuleOfLaw
This incredible peice of research from @LexisNexisUK should be read by anyone interested in #AccesstoJustice. It shines a light on how hard accessing legal advice can be - and who knows when you'll need it. Don't let the video put you off, the report is mercifully free of my face
What is a #legalaid desert?

It's #TrusteesWeek, and I'm proud to be a trustee of @londonlegal. Being a trustee for any charity is important but, for me, LLST is particularly special. Without it, so many across London and the South East would have no access to legal advice.

I may have been in the US this week, but the @LexisNexisUK Rule of Law work goes on regardless. Kudos to our awesome team who attended and spoke at the #BarProBonoAwards, maintaining our dedication to supporting @WeAreAdvocate and the Bar in all they do to drive #accesstojustice
This week our team attended Advocate's 2022 #BarProBonoAwards, which celebrated the incredible work of #barristers in doing work which is so profoundly needed.
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners – and thank you to everyone working hard to made a difference.
If you need a reason to object to the death penalty, here it is. Miscarriages of justice happen, deliberately or accidentally. For some, the right result might come too late...

The Rule of Law is referred to daily, but what do we actually mean when we talk about the Rule of Law? We asked @jiharper, Legal Director at LexisNexis, to summarise the four pillars in this short video.
