Listen "'One lawyer quit to become cabin crew'"
Episode Synopsis
A shortage of legal aid lawyers could lead to industrial action and a bigger court backlog, Scotcast has been told. Simon Brown, president of the Scottish Solicitors Bar Association, tells us why so many are turning their backs on defending the accused – and why, despite the relatively poor pay, he loves the job. Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
