Pros

Flexibility and good life / work balance

Cons

Often work last 1 hour in court. You are left with 1 hour wage (€15) after 1 hour travel time (15-30 min travel each way) and bill for parking. in other words effective rate is €6,50 per hour. good luck

We agree some practices on some contracts are difficult to manage on a micro level. Its impossible to refer specifically to which precise moment you are referring. We have the same challenges too trying to balance things out for as many people as possible, as you know there is a huge push by government to reduce costs and the provision of multilingual services (inter alia interpreting) in the criminal legal sector is no exception. Every week however is different and some weeks are much more fulfilling than others. Don’t give up, don’t give in, we are all in this together.
