Articles by Richard C. Atkinson
200 Years of the Law Society - A Moment to Reflect about Legal Aid
By Richard Atkinson, President of the Law Society of England and Wales Legal aid seems as if it has always been a pillar of our justice system but, in reality, it was born only 76 years ago. When the Legal Aid and Advice Act 1949 was introduced, four in five people were eligible for civil legal aid, enabling them to seek justice regardless of their financial means. By 1959, 10,000 solicitors worked in legal aid schemes ensuring the profession’s commitment to justice for all.

By Richard Atkinson and Mike Tucker Illustrations by Gavin Rymill BBC Books, out now The Doctor’s TARDIS in its various iterations comes under the spotlight in this detailed guide to the Doctor’s chosen method of transport.

Not so with this new volume, with review copies only being sent out on the day of publication.

Set to debut a year from now, in the spring of 2016, the exam will require students to demonstrate in-depth knowledge of subjects they study in school. The revised SAT takes some important, if partial, steps toward becoming a test of curriculum mastery.
