Premium community based legal firm in UK? Rev. Dane Marks and co-founders launch The Community Law Project UK Ltd to help people facing legal issues get support. Court statistics for England and Wales for the year 2019 have reported 4.2 million cases where 2.0 million from civil courts, 1.5 million from magistrates, 393,000 from tribunals, 266,000 from family courts and 104,000 from crown courts.
These statistics shows that the majority of the cases are civil and family cases and this high volume may tend to unnecessary amounts of outstanding cases, longer waiting times, costs to both the government and the parties who are present at the court. This shows the necessity of an advancement in the current court system with information technology and related solutions.
The co-founders, Rev. Dane Marks, Daniel Onafuwa and Samantha Yarwood and the genius and passionate team of Law Students and Graduates have come together to offer their support for minimal fees to assist people facing legal issues. The team will offer their support in helping compile evidence, draft case notes and find legal representation to support people in the poorest and most marginalised areas. They will also offer low cost support to law firms and barristers to enable them to focus on their cases.
Rev. Dane Marks explains, ‘since studying law and learning the issues of people facing legal problems and the problems the courts are having with the current backlogs, we will help in the best way we can.’
We need to keep things functional without a physical presence in all community areas in the current situation. There is an absolute need for an entirely secure and well-integrated online court platform because it will dramatically reduce costs, delays and stress of court cases. The Community Law Project UK Ltd proposes an online platform that will allow people to attend court from any distant place without being exposed to any viral diseases. The Community Law Project UK Ltd is a fantastic innovation to provide high quality, innovative and result-oriented legal support service to the community. The company is proposing a “The Courts Online” platform to facilitate and optimize the Judiciary system and law education domain. Read additional info at Community Law Project UK.
Partner spotlight: The Miscarriages of Justice Awareness Society aims to serve as a friendly and educational society to all Cardiff University students. This society aims to inform members about how, when, and why miscarriages of justices occur, with a primary focus on the British Legal System. We will provide interactive, educational, and informative meetings, allowing every student the opportunity to delve into the system and uncover its flaws and evaluate the necessary reforms. We believe doing so is of fundamental importance. We endeavour to produce an exceptional, and most importantly an inclusive, society. Miscarriages of Justice do not have a set definition but can include wrongful convictions of the factually innocent, acquitting the factually guilty, and victims not receiving rightful compensation. This area of law is not currently getting the attention it deserves. Furthermore, we believe that current global events highlight the need for this society more than ever. Once you have purchased your membership, please request to join the Private Members Facebook Group, the link can be found on the left-hand side of the screen. Here, you will have the access links to all of our upcoming events.
The issues have been excruciatingly increased due to the global pandemic, which has severely impacted the most vulnerable even more so. The negative ramifications have affected the legal industry, particularly law firms. This has in turn impacted the futures of many young legal professionals seeking work. Many internships have been cancelled or postponed, leaving many in the field out of work, particularly recent graduates. Many law firms on top of the legal aid cuts and the results of the pandemic, do not have the capacity or resources to take on the ever-growing number of cases that these low-income people want to bring forth. We sought a solution to solve all these issues at once. Find additional details on https://communitylawproject.com/.
