FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Legal Aid Practitioners Group (LAPG) is to offer bespoke management training for legal aid firms and not-for-profit organisations. According to LAPG, these providers have traditionally found it difficult to focus on management due to a lack of time, resources and management expertise. It intends to offer them a package of management training which is flexible, affordable and relevant enough to overcome these obstacles. Full story - New Law Journal
