UK online court platform project and excellent community legal services from 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.
Partner spotlight: Lawyers Without Borders (LWOB) is an international charitable organisation which aims to protect human rights and promote the rule of law. The organisation is made up of lawyers from around the world who provide pro bono services to access to justice and human rights initiatives. The importance of the organisation in upholding human rights, ensuring legal integrity and raising awareness has been seen globally in relation to issues such as human trafficking, wildlife crime and child labour. The Lawyers Without Borders Society is the Cardiff Student Division of LWOB, and aims to raise awareness about human rights and the rule of law in relation to national and international issues. The Society holds fundraising events and conducts awareness campaigns (including debates and panel events) throughout the year. The Society also runs a newsletter, The Justicia, which discusses topical human rights issues. Furthermore, the Society undertakes pro bono research tasks and media projects for LWOB, and has competed in the LWOB Annual Rule of Law Innovation Challenge.

Law tip of the day: Insurance company private investigators have been known to carry concealed tape recorders to interview claimants and their friends or acquaintances. You should never discuss your case with anyone other than your attorney and your treating doctors or therapists. It is extremely important that you advise your attorney of any PRIOR ACCIDENTS, PRE-EXISTING INJURIES or PRE ACCIDENT PHYSICAL COMPLAINTS. Many good cases are compromised or lost because the injured person forgets or conceals previous injuries or history of physical complaints from his or her own attorney.
If you appeared before the Crown Court and disagree with the decision there, you may have the right to appeal to the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division). It is the responsibility of your representative to advise you about your right to appeal following the outcome of your case as strict time limits may mean you will lose the right to appeal if not done quickly enough. If you were represented by one of our in-house Advocates or approved barristers, we will always advise you about an appeal and discuss your options well within the time limit.
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 lawyers 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.

Dane Marks, a co-founder of The Community Law Project UK Ltd, initiates a plan for a reliable online court platform that will support the Judiciary and relevant government departments. The Judiciary system can create a better and swift solution of issues, which will speed up the whole process for delayed cases. Several reports and analysis related to Courts in England and Wales for the year 2019 show that 4.2 million cases in total were registered. These numbers represent a flood of civil and family cases that may remain outstanding and delayed for an extended period.
