She also worked giving free legal advice at the Gloucester Law Centre.

[7] She replaced Vaughan Gething, who had appointed himself to the role after Mick Antoniw resigned from the cabinet.

[8] She has specific statutory functions in that role, including in relation to Senedd Cymru Bills.

[1] The Law Society responded to her appointment by calling for a return to a political appointee in the role, saying that the lack of an elected Senedd member in the role presents a risk of loss of political focus around justice in wales.
