What Judges Want

Judges are people. They make decisions everyday about the future of other people, and they rely on the information to hand together with submissions from the defence barrister to make a decision that could affect the defendant’s future.  And judges are well aware that a prison sentence can have a negative effect from loss of employment, loss of housing and even loss of family, not to mention the struggles of reintegration into society.  So they don’t take this decision likely and, in most cases, look for reasons to try and give a different, lesser sentence.  But they need information to be able to make a positive difference, and that is where Mitigation.org.uk comes in.  We understand what is more likely to work and what nearly always won’t.  Just look at our case study here to see the impact that good mitigation can have and then consider calling.
