Speech by the Lord Chief Justice: Launch of TheCityUK's Legal Services Report 2016



We use the work that TheCityUK does to try and get over to Government how important the legal sector is. And, without facts and figures - and I am not going to re-traverse facts and figures because you have got them and you have had a summary of them - we have a very great difficulty. We try and persuade all branches of the State just how important the legal sector is. It is a constant battle (a) to obtain money to fund the courts and tribunals, but (b) to try and make certain that justice is seen as central to our society.
