Lawyers up the ante in battle for more legal-aid money

The war between the government and stakeholders on the legal integrity of the British Columbia courts is becoming more accessible and more acrimonious.

Lawyers across the province are sporting light blue ribbons on their robes as a sign of today they have become "soldiers in the battle for legal aid."

They will rally outside the courthouse many scoring campaign at noon.

In January, the lawyers will intensify the protests against provincial underfunding of the legal system by withdrawing counsel.

On hand in the palace to provide rapid assistance to the poor, the counsel will not be available for one week in January, two weeks in February, three weeks in March and all April.

The job action lawyers, however, will only exacerbate the already overcrowded court system and strained provincial, where it takes too long to process cases.

In March, six of 10 adult criminal cases pending before the Provincial Court were in the completion of 180 days online guide proposed by the Supreme Court of Canada. Some 15 percent of these cases have been pending for more than 18 months.

The bar and the bench have been quietly feuding with Victoria for years and the conflict is a major reason for the attorney general's office was a revolving door. Earlier this month, BC Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman fired a warning shot in the arc of the Liberals, saying the legal system was on the brink of crisis.

In a sharp speech at the helm, he cited the shortage of judges, lack of support staff and other resource issues as a barrier to both the provincial and supreme courts.

There are about 200 to fewer services than court staff, there were three years ago - less than clerks, workers registry, less than a sheriff. It may take up to six months to get a court order in some records.

He drew comparisons with the U.S. courts that are in a desperate situation and the implementation of emergency measures.

Without more money, British Columbia courts facing similar difficulties, Bauman warned, and the sys-tem could be irreparably damaged if the government does not act.

In particular, the Trial Lawyers Association, said a decade of severe cuts to legal aid has had a significant impact and far too many people in need do not receive help.

There is a serious concern access to justice is now affected and faith in the compromised system.

Earlier this year, Vancouver lawyer Len Doust issued a report saying that tens of millions of dollars were needed to resuscitate the patient simply legal aid system.

He visited the province con-duct hearings and concluded that the government should deal with legal aid as an essential service and restore funding.

But this seems to be a chimera expensive - and it is difficult to see the Liberal government during evolution.

Under the former Premier Gordon Campbell, the government is little sympathy for the legal community and ignored his censure.

Lawyers in some places in the province have made withdrawals of similar services, but they had little effect.

The crux of the problem is that there is no single solution to the problems facing the legal system - there must be a basket of solutions that include procedural changes, wage freeze for some and more money for other.

The defense lawyers, for example, is angry because they did not have legal assistance re-raise to 20 years - in fact, they complain that, between 1999 and 2005 the rate was lowered from $ 80 to $ 72 an hour. At the same time, however, judges and the salaries of Crown counsel have all increased dramatically.

New administration of Prime Minister Christy Clark is struggling with its finances and there is also a cry for more funding for health, education and social services.

With only a limited pot, if you decide to give more money to lawyers and judges or crippled children, which would you choose?
