I got an email last night from one of the Council members I'd been in touch with. There is now the possibility of some dialogue with the Society at least. I hope that this continues, and that we can get around a table and sort this out. Please keep up our efforts.
I wrote to the Law Society of Scotland Council today. The Council is made up of elected Solicitors representing each of the different Sheriff Court areas in Scotland. I've asked them to consider what has happened here and pointed out the level of interest in this case. Fingers crossed that they will do something. Keep up the good work.
Today, the Law Society have said that there should be "alternative representation" available for our disabled clients. They have also said that they will provide "support". However, when questioned about this further, there were no details about this. Often, organisations like the Law Society will say things like they want to help or provide support, when you actually go to them and ask for specifics, there is little by way of substance. Please continue your efforts. Together we can succeed.

To keep you updated, the Law Society have been telling the media that they "admit making a mistake but don't recognise legal spark as a law centre" or words like that. Interesting, as no mention of the problems they have created and the clients they have caused harm to! Also, if they don't recognise legal spark as a law centre, why did they encourage us to set us as a law centre? Please keep it up.
Hi everyone, thank you so much for signing the petition. It really means a lot to me and the clients of legal spark. If you want to find out more about why I set up legal spark, have a read of this: http://www.legalspark.co.uk/blog/why-did-i-set-up-legal-spark
