Anonymous 10:11 What a bland statement. How little interest has been shown in this journal (or anywhere) by individual solicitors or their representative body, or barristers, about this grotesque deprivation of justice for children, who almost never have any means of their own.
The most contemptible lawyers of all are the judges, who swear to do justice without fear or favour, especially the highest and best paid, who have utter impunity precisely to enable them to stand up to State-sponsored injustice. They could simply refuse to hear cases where independent legal representation was not provided, and await the consequences, including media and public uproar. Where is Shami Chakrabarti, just finished writing "On Liberty", and her cohorts, where Michael Mansfield and Gareth Pierce?
