Peter Hill emailed me last week about this, although there is now information on Scottish Legal News which I have added below:"A London-based law reform and human rights group is heading north of the border to address a meeting of Scottish lawyers.
The secretary of JUSTICE, Roger Smith, is to visit Edinburgh to speak about how a Scottish version of the group – totally independent of London – might be set up.
The body being proposed is an all-party grouping of legal and lay persons, covering the entire range of civil and criminal law.
The objective is to create a body of informed, educated and reliable opinion-makers, with first-hand experience of the legal system in action, to propose any changes that they see are necessary.
The Justicia Scotland initiative is being organised by solicitor John Scott, retired journalist Peter Hill and author Sandra Lean.
The arrangements for this meeting are now in progress and the organisers would like to know how many people might attend.
If you might be at all interested in coming to such a meeting, please email peter.hill@raybrook.co.uk.
Your name will then be added to a list of people to contact when the final arrangements have been made.
If you know of any other persons who might care to attend, please add their email addresses to your reply."
