Ethnic Solicitors Network

Criminal legal aid firms are facing bleak prospects, with solicitors from ethnic minority communities particularly affected by funding cuts. Law Society Council member Joe Mensah-Dankwah shares his story.

Have you considered becoming a judge? Do you feel like you need more background and guidance on the judicial application process? We’re running free workshops aimed at Black ethnic minority solicitors who are under-represented in the judiciary.

Managing your mental health in a demanding work environment can be incredibly challenging. For Mental Health Awareness Week, three solicitors open up about their experiences with stress, pressure and mental ill-health in private practice.
