Law Society and Bar Council ‘gravely concerned’ over briefing sent to right-leaning papers calling Jacqueline McKenzie a ‘lefty lawyer’
The Law Society and Bar Council have hit out at the Conservatives’ treatment of an immigration lawyer after she was the subject of a dossier sent to right-leaning newspapers.
In an article for the Guardian, Jacqueline McKenzie, the head of immigration at Leigh Day and a partner at the firm, said Conservative party HQ had sent a briefing to the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the Sun and the Daily Express that was inaccurate and intended to whip up ill-feeling towards her.
