After more than a month of strikes, the 2,600 trial lawyers in England and Wales accepted an offer from the British government for more wages on Monday and ended their industrial action.
They agreed on this with the new Attorney General Brandon Lewis.
In the future, the lawyers will receive 15 percent more from the state for their work as criminal defense attorneys.
This increase also relates to the backlog of more than 60,000 pending cases, which was a key request from the attorneys.

In addition, the state will pay for some of the lawyers' activities in the future, such as preparing court dates or recording interviews with witnesses and victims, which were previously not remunerated.
Overall, the lawyers received an extra double-digit million amount.
A majority of the approximately 2,600 members of the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) have accepted the proposal.
The CBA had originally asked for 25 percent more money.
Justice Secretary Lewis said: "My priority since taking up my post five weeks ago has been to end this strike and avoid further delays (of trials) for victims.
I'm glad the lawyers have agreed to go back to work."
Criminal lawyers in England and Wales had been on an indefinite strike since early September.
Thousands of criminal cases and court cases remained suspended during the industrial action, which the police and victims of crime criticized.
CBA members complain that they have not received inflation compensation for years, suffering real income cuts of more than a quarter.
Many young criminal lawyers make less than minimum wage and after a year's experience, net of expenses, are making less than £20,000.
After three to seven years of work experience, they make around £50,000 net annual income.
The CBA complains that criminal attorneys are paid poorly overall.
Therefore, within five years, a quarter of criminal lawyers would have changed their profession.
