Trial lawyers demonstrate the Old Bailey courthouse in London

Trial lawyers demonstrate the Old Bailey courthouse in London January 6, 2014. British trial lawyers staged their first strike on Monday to protest against government cuts of up to 30 percent to taxpayer-funded legal fees which they said would drive away talent from the profession and endanger the criminal justice system. Trials across England and Wales were severely disrupted as hundreds of barristers in grey wigs, white bow ties and long black gowns, the attire they normally wear in court, instead congregated outside courthouses for noisy demonstrations.
