The LALYs are generally open to all lawyers who are committed to legal aid work. With the exception of the Barrister and Young Barrister awards (see below), nominees must work in a private practice solicitors’ firm, law centre or other not-for-profit agency employing a solicitor or barrister, which holds a Legal Services Commission specialist level contact. Solicitors, legal executives, employed barristers, paralegals and trainee solicitors are all eligible. Self-employed barristers in private practice doing legal aid are eligible for the Barrister and Young Barrister awards. The Young Barrister award is open to trainee barristers and those of under seven years’ call on 1 September 2008.
