Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
A shortage of legal aid lawyers could lead to industrial action and a bigger court backlog, Scotcast has been told.
Simon Brown, president of the Scottish Solicitors Bar Association, tells us why so many are turning their backs on defending the accused – and why, despite the relatively poor pay, he loves the job.
Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
