On 9 October, The Law Society published the 21st Century Justice Project Green Paper, ‘Proposals for a 21st Century Justice system’ and they are seeking wider feedback on the questions raised within the paper to assist them to refine their proposals in advance of producing a White Paper in Spring 2024.
The paper sets out a set of proposed reforms to the civil justice system to enhance access to justice for small businesses and those on low/middle incomes. It is the culmination of work that the Law Society has undertaken over the past year with committee members, legal services consumers and a range of stakeholders including academics, justice NGOs, Law Tech and small business and consumer organisations.
The Liverpool Law Society committee will be submitting a response, but we also encourage our members to consider the questions posed. Responses to those questions of most relevance to you can be submitted to campaigns@lawsociety.org.uk by Friday 5 January 2024.
