#WinOfTheWeek is celebrating the legacy of Emma Wilkinson from her work over the past 3 years, as she leaves as our employment law lead this week. We're pleased to still be working with Emma in her role as Director of the Employment Law Advice Network. Bon voyage and au reviour Emma!

The Secret Barrister’s done a thriller! And an excellent one. Five stars. Audiobook is excellent! @barristersecret.bsky.social

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article.... This is incredibly concerning. Independent scrutiny of the court system was abolished on the pretext it wasn't necessary. Time for an inquiry into this issue, and for independent scrutiny to be reinstated. Justice is too important to society to operate in the dark.

We have the greatest friends and supporters - thanks to everyone. This money will make a massive difference to our service.

We have some amazing supporters who put their support into action time and time again.

I'll be on the registration desk if anyone would like to say hello later. It's a very big day for us because I'm also off to The Lawyer Awards tonight where we're the charity partner. I'm even presenting an award!

The FRU employment legal test results are OUT! Well done if you passed, we look forward to working with you soon. Commiserations if you didn't and we hope that you will take the test again when you are able to. #WeDoProBono

Yes, huge thanks to all the fantastic people who work for free to provide #AccessToJustice for people who can't afford legal representation. Each year volunteers give thousands of hours to help their clients. #VolunteersWeek

www.legalservicesconsumerpanel.org.uk/blog/regulat... My valedictory blog for the @lsconsumerpanel.bsky.social. It was fulfilling to be on the inside of debates across the legal sector about consumer needs. Good luck to the Panel for its future work.
