Responses to consultations

The Junior Lawyers Division respond to many consultations, particularly those published by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and relevant government departments. The JLD committee feel that it is important that the views of the membership is heard - not only on issues directly related to junior lawyers but also on wider matters which may impact the future career paths of junior lawyers.
