Central England Law Centre has celebrated its new office in Coventry (opposite the combined court) with a grand opening with lady chief justice herself doing the ribbon-cutting. The centre’s 45-strong legal team, also based at Tyseley, Birmingham, assists 10,000 people every year.

The lady chief justice said: ‘One of the most pressing and critical priorities of our justice system is ensuring fair and equal access to justice. And here is where this wonderful law centre comes in. It has never wavered from its focus on improving individual lives of those in the communities that it serves.’

Hear hear.
