Two Videos About The Work of Law Centres

Here are two videos which I have discovered thanks to an email news letter from the Law Centres Federation. The are extremely well made and demonstrate the value of social welfare law work.

Perhaps the biggest obstacle for those trying defend Legal Aid work in recent years has been the negative image that the public have of lawyers. We are generally seen as fat cats who claim to be concerned about our clients but are really only it it for the huge amounts of tax payers  money which we receive.  Admittedly this is mostly an image of private practice solicitors and barristers but the public image of law centre lawyers suffers as a result of it as well. If there were more videos like this I would expect this to change.  More please!
