“The Bar Council has produced a short film to mark the 60th anniversary of the Legal Aid Act, which received Royal Assent on the 30th July 1949. The film, which is available on the Bar Council’s website, features interviews with some senior barristers who explain the importance of legal aid and reflect on the future of the publicly funded Bar.”
