Law Update: European reform
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The annual conference of the Solicitors' European Group, to be held in Cambridge at the weekend, coincides with the publication by the Law Society of their European manifesto. In A Europe for its Citizens, the society urges the EU institutions to consider reforms that would provide a more reliable, fair and open Europe. Proposals in the manifesto include the provision of legal aid for the settlement of trans-frontier consumer disputes, the right of lawyers to establish offices under their home title in other member states, and placement and exchange programmes for trainee lawyers.
