Civil/crime news: voice your ideas on £1 billion court modernisation
Roadshow events seeking views on modernisation of courts and tribunals will be launched by HM Courts & Tribunals Service in November 2017.
Providers are being invited with other members of the legal profession to register for a series of roadshow events which start on 27 November 2017.
The idea is for HM Courts & Tribunals Service to collect views and ideas on the £1 billion modernisation programme.
This is due to be completed in 2022 and will affect everyone who uses and works within our courts and tribunals.

- 29 November, 5pm to 6.30pm – Manchester Civil Justice Centre
- 11 December, 5.30pm to 7pm – London Royal Courts of Justice
More events will be scheduled later in the year.
How will the events work?
There will be a general introduction to the reform programme and a round-table discussion.
