We are proud to share that our associate member, Her Honour Judith Rowe KC, has played a leading role in the creation and launch of West London Family Courts Information, a groundbreaking new website designed to support families navigating the Family Justice System across West London.
Launched on 3 September 2025, the site provides free, clear, and accessible information to individuals involved in family law proceedings across Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Enfield, Haringey, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kingston, Richmond, and Merton. Resources include:
-
- Step-by-step explanations of court processes
- Video tours of family courtrooms
- Information on legal alternatives like mediation and arbitration
- Links to local charities and support services
We are delighted to highlight Judith’s pivotal role in adapting and leading this important project for the West London region. Inspired by a similar project in Bristol, Judith worked in collaboration with local solicitors, a mediation service, and others to make this valuable public resource a reality.
Her Honour Judith Rowe KC commented:
“It seemed to me that there was a lack of accessible information available when people are having to go to a family court. I understand that going to court can be a very frightening experience, and we wanted to create a website that would ease people’s fears and help them feel more informed.”
We congratulate Judith on this achievement and her ongoing commitment to public legal education and access to justice.
