None of the wonderful solicitors, legal execs, trainees or paralegals that I call friends work in this area of law for the feedback, but it is lovely to receive. What more could I ask for?

A woman whose rape claim was wrongly dismissed has a "clear" right to be allowed to speak out anonymously about her experience of the family justice system, a High Court judge rules -- in @thetimes today, but oddly, not online.

Incredible sadness at the sudden and unexpected loss of the wonderful Simon (Spike) Mullings. The news has just been shared publications by the Legal Action Group on the other platform. A huge loss for his family and friends, for his colleagues, for legal aid, for housing law... for the world.

The Howard League explains prison overcrowding - how we got here; where we go now - here 👉 howardleague.org/why-are-pris... And here is the Prison Governors’ Association, agreeing 👇
Tweet from @PGA_Prisons saying “Anything above safe Certified Normal Accommodation (CNA) is unsafe & overcrowded

CNA is around 78k,there are about 88k people in prison; 16k are in overcrowded conditions

SDS40 will stop prisons running out of space - they will still be overcrowded.

Part 2 of the ‘English homelessness law is awful’ thread. Assuming you have managed to be found by the council to be homeless, eligible, in priority need & not intentionally homeless (hard, see Part 1 bsky.app/profile/near... ), then the council will provide you with permanent accommodation, yes? 1/
