Congratulations to @laurajanes.bsky.social for her appointment as the new Chair of @prisonlawyersapl.bsky.social. Pretty disgraceful that it has taken over 15 years to get the first female Chair of APL but Laura always has been a trailblazer.
Now getting a great case law update from Stephen Tawiah @33bedfordrow.bsky.social and Hamish Arnott @bhattmurphy.bsky.social
Now hearing from the Legal Aid Agency on prison law
Chief operations officer at the Parole Board tells us that people serving IPPs make up around 20% of the case load, there are no “easy” cases left and the Board is taking steps to give these cases special attention. They are ready to process around 600 termination cases when the law changes in Feb
First up we have an update from the Parole Board….
Our annual conference is underway with a welcome from our chair Rikki Garg
TODAY IS THE DAY - looking forward to sharing ideas and knowledge with colleagues...
