Registration For Qualified Legal Practitioners For Cross-Examination Work
The Ministry of Justice is continuing to register experienced qualified legal practitioners to undertake cross-examination work in family and civil proceedings in line with provisions in the Domestic Abuse Act which will be commencing shortly.
Barristers and solicitors with cross-examination expertise and vulnerable witness and advocacy training are invited to register for court appointed cross-examination work in family and civil proceedings. Lawyers registering to conduct cross-examination in place of prohibited parties will help victims in court to engage more confidently with the justice process and exercise their rights to a fair trial. For information on how to register please see below.
We wish to clarify that solicitors who may be interested in registering for this work do not need a Higher Rights of Audience (HRA) qualification to appear / conduct cross-examination in either the Family Court or County Court. An HRA qualification will only be needed for to appear in proceedings in ‘higher courts’, which for these our purposes are the High Court (the Family Division for family proceedings, or the Queen’s Bench/Chancery Divisions for civil proceedings); or the civil division of the Court of Appeal.
Please see the below information pertaining to this new work:
We are delighted to announce we have a rare opportunity to join the team at Manchester Law Society with a vacancy for an Apprentice Society Administrator.
This is a fantastic chance for someone to learn a wide range of skills, gain experience and build a business network.
As promised, please find the first edition of the MLS Court Reports Journal here!
This new journal is launched in partnership with our friends at Legal RSS and will provide a summary of recent court reports which we hope will be an invaluable addition to your own understanding and awareness of recent court judgements.
We would love to hear your feedback so let us know what you think!
Marketing in 2022 requires a certain amount of reliance on Google. So when they make an announcement that they will be sunsetting Universal Analytics and moving all users to Google Analytics 4, we all need to pay attention.
All Universal Analytics installations will stop recording new data on 1 July 2023 and existing Universal Analytics data will be deleted six months later.
Why is Google doing this?
Google wants website owners to move over to the new platform as privacy restrictions including GDPR have made tracking users with third-party cookies, more difficult. Google Analytics 4 has more methods of tracking users other than cookies to track users.
Most website owners and analytics professionals have been reluctant to change over to Google Analytics 4 for the following reasons:
Google Analytics 4's data model is completely different to Universal Analytics, most existing reports and dashboards will have to be built again from scratch.
The different data model also means that historic data from Universal Analytics cannot be imported into GA4.
Lack of compatibility with a large portion of 3rd party marketing and CRO software - Because of the different data models, software will have to be rewritten to work with Google Analytics 4.
Its complexity - Universal Analytics was popular because it is intuitive and easy to use, while still giving more advanced options for power users. Google Analytics 4 users to require lots of training and time.
However, there is some good news GA4 will be able to:
Collect both website and app data to better understand the customer journey.
Uses events instead of session-based data.
Includes privacy controls such as cookieless measurement, and behavioural and conversion modelling.
Have predictive capabilities and offer guidance without complex models.
Have direct integrations to media platforms to help drive actions.
Do I have to do anything now?
There is still a year to go before Google will stop recording data in Universal Analytics, so there is time to move over to Google Analytics 4 or to investigate alternative platforms. However, we do recommend getting your SEO agency to set up Google Analytics 4 as soon as possible so you can have historic data if Google does not come up with a way to import the historic data from Universal Analytics.
If you use any software that integrates with Google Analytics on your websites, such as chat software or call tracking, you should check with the provider if the software has been updated to work with Google Analytics 4.
