21st Century Justice Project
21st Century Justice Project
In March 2023, The Law Society kicked off a three-year project to look at the problems facing justice in England and Wales and explore practical changes to make sure the system works effectively, now and in the future. They’ve engaged with experts in the field, members of the public, small business representatives and consumer groups to think about what they want and need from our justice system. The Law Society have now developed fresh ideas for practical, affordable changes to our civil justice system that could save the system £72million over a five-year period.
On 9 October, they published the 21st Century Justice Project Green Paper, ‘Proposals for a 21st Century Justice system’ and 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. Responses to those questions of most relevance to you can be submitted to [email protected] by Friday 5 January 2024.
