Members of the Garden Court Chambers criminal law team support escalating the Criminal Bar Association proposed action to include days of action in an effort to secure the future viability of the criminal bar.

Without a thriving and sustainable junior bar, our justice system is at huge risk caused by a shortfall of barristers able to provide adequate representation and promote fair trials.
