Barristers and solicitors bring the criminal justice system to a standstill in protest at the latest round of £215m cuts to legal aid. The action follows confirmation last week by Justice Secretary Chris Grayling that the cuts will be to the annual criminal legal aid budget and duty lawyers' contracts reduced by a third.
