star this property answer text <p>Ministry of Justice (MOJ) does not routinely hold data on barristers’ specialisms. However as part of the Criminal Legal Aid Review, MOJ worked with the Bar Council and other stakeholders to combine key datasets which were summarised in a published <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/960290/data-compendium.pdf" target="_blank">Data compendium</a>. This shows that the number of barristers in England and Wales who reported themselves as specialising in crime, and who carried out some publicly-funded criminal work, was 2,780 in 2018-19 and 2,690 in 2019-20 (<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/960291/data-compendium-tables.ods" target="_blank">Table 5.3</a>). Comparable data is not available prior to 2018-19.</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/960291/data-compendium-tables.ods" target="_blank">Table 5.13</a> shows that, in 2019-20, 87% of this group were junior barristers and 13% were QCs.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Equality considerations are always given very careful thought when developing policies. However, we have no plans to remove the right to jury trial, something that I am deeply committed to.</p><p>Recovery continues each week. Thanks to the hard work of professionals across the system more than 150 courts remained fully open to the public throughout the pandemic. There are now over 300 courts and tribunals fully open. <br /> <br />We want to do more. So we’re looking for new court capacity, reviewing opening hours and making the most of the change in social distancing. And it’s right that we should think ambitiously, leaving no stone unturned as we continue to increase the number of trials and deliver swift and effective justice.</p><p>Having already responded effectively to Covid-19, HMCTS published a Recovery Plan on 1st July providing further detail of the next steps.</p> more like this
