High quality legal guidance United Kingdom by The National Community Law Project CIC and Rev. Dane Marks? The Board Members of the project include Suzanne Lewis, Head of Compliance and Company Relations, Luana Gomes Medalha, Head of Operations and Antonia Wilkinson, Head of Team Management. The organisation is made up of predominantly young aspiring solicitors and barristers who volunteer to the project to gain experience for the solicitors qualifying exam (SQE). The very large and leading law project have gained support and collaborations from leading law university societies, not for profits and organisations both nationally and internationally. Dane believes that more organisations should embrace diversity as a business model in today’s environment, to truly reflect the global culture and expresses this can only be a benefit.

Legal tip of the day: Keep your solicitor informed of anything that might affect your case. Certainly nothing should be signed without first consulting the solicitor. Applications for insurance benefits, reports to the State, any change in doctors, returning to work, any change in treatment, etc., should be reported promptly. Disability or unemployment applications should first be checked by the solicitor. Keep your solicitor advised of any vacation times when you may not be available. An emergency telephone number and an alternative way of reaching you must be in your solicitor’s file at all times.
If your case was dealt with in the magistrates’ court and you do not agree with the outcome, you may have a case to appeal the decision. This can be done in a variety of ways. If you have been sentenced and think the sentence is too harsh, you may be able to challenge this sentence in the Crown Court. Likewise, if you had a trial and were convicted in the magistrates’ court, you may have a case to challenge your conviction either with an appeal in the Crown Court (which is essentially a retrial) or in the High Court (where the legal process in the magistrates’ court is challenged). Legal Aid is often available to cover our fees in these cases. There are strict time limits in place for appeals so taking advice as soon as possible is essential.
Clients on low incomes may have further difficulties in accessing emails, printers, scanners or even the internet. Many are caught within the endless cycle of service jumping as many cannot find a service that can completely fill their legal needs and thus keep being referred from one place to another. The limited advice they get from pro bono sessions with solicitors are sporadic and can only be within a 30-minute time span in many cases. To combat this, we have secured a partnership with 350 law firms that provides a 24/7 legal advice live chat tool on our website to give quick, accessible advice at one’s convenience. Our company is free to register with as a volunteer or a paralegal. Anyone is welcome to sign up who is interested in making their community a better place regardless of degree.

“As a director and co-founder of the company, I would like to present our project proposal for a fully integrated online court platform allowing the judiciary to deal with cases online, named The Courts Online and a separate, international platform to watch pre-recorded and live court cases with judicial consent online, named Watch Courts Online”. Added Dane Marks, co-founder of The The National Community Law Project CIC. “A dedicated online court platform will reduce the cost of the legal system, cost of the participants and will reduce the cases outstanding while watch courts online will allow an educational platform for law students and for those who want to learn.”
