What Happened Next? - The Lawyer

Series which finds out what happened to people featured in past BBC documentaries. In 1996 a programme gave a revealing picture of law on the front line when it followed June Venters, a London solicitor who specialised in legal aid work. June's clients had been arrested for a range of alleged crimes from supplying drugs to murder and the film showed her fighting their corner. After a look back at the original film, we catch up with June as she faces up to radical changes to the legal aid system.
