"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little" Edmund Burke

Criminal Defence Lawyers as a group represent the beating heart of the legal profession. They represent the essence of what it is to be a true professional, when some solicitors have sadly long discarded their ethical heritage.They deserve the full support of the profession.

If we let them down, long term we will all suffer as justice is purged from every part of our centuries legal system.

Please support your colleagues, no matter what your background might be, on the 7 March next and send out a message to the government and the public that we care about justice.
