Should the government implement a whole-system recovery plan for the criminal justice system including Leveson recommendations and increased legal aid?

The criminal justice system has suffered from 20 years of cuts to court funding and legal aid, leading to backlogs. The previous government introduced the Courts and Tribunals Bill proposing to restrict jury trials and move more cases to magistrates' courts. The Law Society calls for a comprehensive recovery plan implementing Leveson review recommendations instead of piecemeal reform, plus urgent investment in criminal legal aid.
