Counterfire’s Shabbir Lakha speaks to Kerry Hudson, a criminal defence solicitor and former president of the LCSA, on the criminal barristers’ picket line about the crisis in the criminal justice system and why barristers and solicitors are taking action
Last week we spoke to Jo Sidhu QC, Chair of the Criminal Bar Association:

Before you go
Counterfire is growing faster than ever before
We need to raise £20,000 as we are having to expand operations. We are moving to a bigger, better central office, upping our print run and distribution, buying a new printer, new computers and employing more staff.
