SALC & LCF Joint Talks
26th June 2010
The Scottish Association of Law Centres (SALC) and its English & Welsh counterpart, the Law Centres Federation (LCF), have spoken to each other with regard to possible future closer cooperation and joint working.
On 25 June representatives of each organisation took part in an informal conference call to discuss various options, which they will now take to their respective boards for further consideration.
While obviously Scottish law centres operate in Scotland which has its own distinct jurisdiction, legal system and Parliament, nonetheless law centres on either side of the border share common aims, needs and challenges, therefore may gain much from mutual cooperation.
The LCF currently represents 56 member law centres, while SALC represents 10. All 66 organisations are committed to meeting otherwise unmet legal need and social justice.
