The Barrister Magazine leads with article "Safety at Court: A Cornerstone of Access to Justice" by Jennifer Lanigan

4KBW is proud to announce that the Barrister Magazine has published Jenny Lanigan's article as the lead article in its June 2025 edition.  

In her article, "Safety at Court: A Cornerstone of Access to Justice", Jenny uses her experience of assault at court as a springboard for considering the particular challenges faced by vulnerable court users such as those who have suffered domestic abuse and may be faced with limited or inadequate safeguards when attending court hearings against their abuser. 

She writes: 

"Until April 2024, I took court security and special measures for granted. As a practitioner frequently appearing in the Family Court in domestic abuse-related matters, I would arrive at court and only take notice of the security measures for the time it took to have my Bar Council pass scanned and be ushered through, before I rushed to hunt down a conference room that had hopefully been set aside for my client in accordance with special measures. My blasé attitude came abruptly to an end when I was assaulted last year at court by my opponent, a litigant in person."

Jenny has particular expertise in representing vulnerable clients and is passionate about access to justice. She is repeatedly recognised for her exceptional client care as well as her effective advocacy on behalf of clients.
