The Gazette and the Law Society launched a joint LinkedIn group specifically for legal aid solicitors this week.

The group will be the leading forum for discussion of legal aid topics, and will help the Society’s legal aid team gather input from solicitors to inform next month’s response to the government’s green paper.

The Society is seeking solicitors’ views on a number of specific topics, but also encourages members to put their own questions and thoughts to the group. The forum will be a key campaigning tool for solicitors.

Membership of the Gazette’s main LinkedIn discussion group broke through the 3,000 mark last week. Join the legal aid LinkedIn group by clicking here.
