Maybe in danger for a couple of years,then the public will be voting for her to do a challenge on I'm a celebrity,or she'll appear on celebrity bake off something like that
You do know that doing purely legal aid work is basically working on the breadline? There is bugger all money in it and most legal aid lawyers do it for reasons other than personal enrichment?
That goes to the firm not the lawyer. And it is limited on hours per case at a level MILES below the time needed to do a case properly. If you do purely legal aid work you take home a lot less than a teacher.

Then travel to Syria is charged at £27 an hour. Good luck with getting flights at that price. Do it by phone and you can claim FOUR QUID
Nope , still not feeling that sympathitic to lawyers. newly qualified teacher starts at 23.5 k.Newly qualified solicitor 25-40k. I agree that legal aid does not pay great but then nor does NHS dentists. I dont know a private firm that is purely run on legal aid but I also dont know a private dentist that is purely NHS. An NHS dentist is 38k to 83k so again I dont have much sympathy for them in my "needs a pay rise" list
I know plenty of teachers on under 25k. I know plenty of police officers under 25k. I know firefighters under 25k, I know soldiers on under 25k soI am afraid even with the argument of my Learned friend, Lawyers / solicitors still earn enough.
Jesus this is hard work. You are effectively GIVING your time for free because it doesn’t pay. This is an appeal against the Home Secretary so is going High Court minimum, realistically House of Lords. So rights of audience rules say you are going to need a barrister and very probably a silk. Which you are paying for out of that £50 to £70 an hour you get from the government. So unless they are pro bono that is a loss making exercise. Want to interview the client?

I worked in an FE college for 7 years. For almost 4 years I've worked in higher education.
In that time I've met zero teachers on under £25k. I worked on schemes to recruit people to the police force. After training, all started on over £25k. A mate of mine is a firefighter. On well above £25k, and none of his crew are on less than that.
All tough, intensive jobs. Deserving of a decent salary. Even so, the comparison is relatively pointless (even if it is untrue in the majority of cases). Any legal work costs money to complete. If it isn't cost effective to do the work, lawyers won't do it. Then only the rich will have access to legal advice they can pay for.
Who is that better for? disaster capitalists and brexit loving misguided individuals who will be in for a hell of a "woe is me" moment when the full implications become clear to them.
