We now have 107 Barristers ready to review your applications. The vast majority do publicly funded work. Those are the people who can least afford the unpaid time. So, if they can, anyone can. I have also been very struck by the responses from the CPS barristers and the GLD barristers, who have volunteered in large numbers. I’m extremely grateful to Littleton Chambers and Kings for bucking the trend – if they can everyone can. And of course, the North Eastern Circuit (of which I am an always proud member – but never so much as today) has stepped up in enormous numbers (so far 27% of the entire total).

I’m not sure many barristers read this page, but if you could all tweet this out, then the message would get across.

In the meantime, I’m compiling the Noticeboard of Acclaim and the Wall of Shame…
