Campaigns
The Law Society is amplifying the powerful collective voice of over 200,000 solicitors to defend and promote our justice system so that it serves everyone.
The rule of law and access to justice are cornerstones of a fair and well-functioning society – and we fight for them against government budget cuts and other attacks.
We're working to influence the government on key legislation and policy reform, from securing fair funding for legal aid to ensuring laws apply to everyone equally.
Legal Aid Means
Legal aid means hope, support, family. Legal aid means someone by your side. Join us to defend it.
Reframing justice
For years, the justice system and the rule of law have been undermined and positioned as opponents to the public good.
We worked with FrameWorks UK to develop new ways to communicate and build public understanding of the rule of law and access to justice.
Legal aid deserts
In large areas of England and Wales, people cannot access local legal aid advice for everyday issues like housing disputes.
Our legal aid desert maps show the impact of government cuts to legal aid on our communities.
21st century justice
A modern justice system should be accessible to everyone who needs it, when they need it.
We’ve outlined practical reforms in our final report which will level the playing field for those of us seeking justice and enable more people to access legal advice.
