YLAL 19 Young Legal Aid Lawyers Liverpool: Inform, Involve and Inspire YLAL Liverpool held our first meeting of the Legal year on 15th October at BPP University. Aptly named “Happy New (Legal) Year”, we welcomed some new members and reacquainted ourselves with others after the summer break. All those who attended left feeling keen, enthused and involved. We had three excellent speakers. Chris Hoskin spoke first; he is the Regional Development Officer in the North for the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEX). He gave members an interesting presentation on the CILEX route into legal qualification. He explained the pros and cons of this route and also made clear how a qualified Legal Executive can still go on to qualify as a solicitor if they so wish, although he explained that in the current legal jobs market it is no longer necessary to take that extra step and become a solicitor in order to reach the top of your chosen area of law. Helene Santamera, a trainee solicitor and Level 2 IAAS Caseworker in the Refugee and Human Rights Department at Jackson & Canter, gave members an overview of her route into the profession via a GDL and then the LPC. She also talked about the changes to her area of law, Immigration and Asylum, since LASPO 2012.Finally Sarah Griffin, Junior Barrister at Exchange Chambers spoke. She talked about her, “more traditional” route into law through the LLB and BPTC. She described the current issues facing the Criminal Legal Aid sector and gave members an overview of the Criminal Bar Association’s stance on the Ministry of Justice’s proposed changes. Both of the lawyers gave very passionate arguments as to why they chose to practice in the legal aid sector. They spoke rousingly on the importance of young lawyers and students continuing to follow their passion into the traditionally legally aided areas of law but were open and honest about the difficulties and challenges they would be likely to face on their journeys. Our next meeting, “Human Rights in Practice”, is due to be held on 3rd December, 6- 8pm at Liverpool University Law Clinic. We have called “Human Rights in Practice” There has, understandably, been an increased interest in the Human Rights Act since the Conservative party have announced the possibility of repealing the Act and replacing it with a British Bill of Rights. This meeting will give members an idea of how the Act is applied in practical terms by lawyers on a daily basis. We will also give time for questions and answers and an open discussion on how the proposed changes may affect member’s own areas of law. We will have three speakers who will be discussing their roles as solicitors in Actions Against the Police and Mental Health law and are also hoping to secure a Liverpool barrister to speak.
