#ClimateDiary wow and now also saw this released by the UK #LawSociety! This seems really massive. An important day for law as key frontier in #climateaction 👏👏👏👏
“Law firms can refuse to act for polluters if the client’s activities inhibit progress toward net zero or otherwise conflict with the firm’s own ‘values’ on climate change.”

The civil #LegalAid system is both underfunded and unsustainable in its current form
It needs radical action from Government
Instead we have a Minister for Justice obsessed with limiting human rights, not improving them 🙄
Would love to follow others interested in #AccessToJustice - please do share, or comment if that’s you! 🙏
(The stats in the post above (👆) on #LegalAidDeserts are from the #LawSociety - their report is linked below)

There used to be unions to do this, rather than individuals working in isolation, which is hard for them and risky for the people that seek help from them.
"The Employment Law Institute and Law Society both back calls for employment advocates to be regulated, given there are currently no qualification requirements nor any recourse for complaints for the public."
