Barristers Strike Action Rally

Barristers continue their indefinite strike action with a protest outside the Supreme Court over poor working conditions and low pay due to an insufficient increase in Legal Aid fees, on 6th September 2022, in London, England. Barristers began their first indefinite all-out strike on Monday over demands for an immediate 25% increase in legal aid fees, after a fall in their real earnings of 28%. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has offered 15% but it will apply only to new cases, There is currently a backlog of about 60,000 cases. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)
