Call for evidence description

The Independent Review of Criminal Legal Aid has launched a Call for Evidence, opening on from 29 March 2021 and closing on 28 May 2021. Sir Christopher Bellamy, Chair of the Review, is inviting interested parties at the heart of the Criminal Legal Aid System to submit evidence on how the system as a whole can be improved and placed on a sustainable footing for the future. We are particularly, but not exclusively interested in hearing the views of criminal defence practitioners, representative bodies, charities, and end users of the system. We also invite contributions from academics who have carried out relevant research. Responses can either be submitted online or sent to iclar@justice.gov.uk. All questions do not need to be answered if respondents are only interested in some aspects of the Call for Evidence.

This consultation has been extended to 28 May 2021.
