Partner spotlight: solicitors Without Borders (LWOB) is an international charitable organisation which aims to protect human rights and promote the rule of law. The organisation is made up of solicitors from around the world who provide pro bono services to access to justice and human rights initiatives. The importance of the organisation in upholding human rights, ensuring legal integrity and raising awareness has been seen globally in relation to issues such as human trafficking, wildlife crime and child labour. The solicitors Without Borders Society is the Cardiff Student Division of LWOB, and aims to raise awareness about human rights and the rule of law in relation to national and international issues. The Society holds fundraising events and conducts awareness campaigns (including debates and panel events) throughout the year. The Society also runs a newsletter, The Justicia, which discusses topical human rights issues. Furthermore, the Society undertakes pro bono research tasks and media projects for LWOB, and has competed in the LWOB Annual Rule of Law Innovation Challenge.

Legal tip of the day: Never be embarrassed to tell your doctors about all of your complaints. The value of your claim is due in large measure to the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment. The doctor can only treat what he observes of what you tell him. The doctor’s records will only be as complete as information that he receives. Keep track of all prescriptions and medicines taken, preferably saving all bottles or containers of medicine. Provide your solicitor with receipts for all medications, both over the counter and prescription medications as well as any other items purchased such as crutches, canes, neck braces, splints and bandages.
If you feel that your sentence was too harsh, it may be possible to seek leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal to have the sentence reduced. The Court of Appeal will either allow the appeal (reduce the sentence) or refuse the appeal (leave the sentence alone). The Court of Appeal cannot increase the sentence but they can order that time spent in custody as an appellant does not count although this is only normally done in meritless cases. In some cases, something can go wrong in the trial process and you may feel that is why you were found guilty. Maybe the jury were given the wrong direction, maybe the judge got the law wrong or possibly, there is some new evidence. In these cases, you may have a right to appeal against your conviction on the grounds that it was unsafe. If you were represented by one or our in-house Advocates or approved barristers, we will always advise you about your options if this situation arises.
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. See more information on Rev. Dane Marks.
