Frazer Barton: Law Society President on the proposed changes to the legal aid system

The legal aid system could be getting a shake up as the Government hints towards reviewing the scheme to ensure victims’ justice is a priority.   Minister Paul Goldsmith has claimed the system is under pressure, with an increase in the volume of court cases, expenses for third party and specialist reports - and changes to eligibility in recent years.    Law Society President Frazer Barton says the process has become much more costly - and cases have grown more and more complex. "We've got these problems in all of the areas - criminal, family and so on. So we desperately need this and I'll welcome it." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
