This is yet another fight the Society is going to lose. Regulation is going to be separated entirely from representation, so the Society will lose whatever control it retains over the SRA (probably none).

There is no need for protection of the "lawyer" title, because the word "solicitor" is already protected. The problem is that the word "solicitor" has itself become devalued, thanks largely to the Society and the SRA. Sadly, it is much too late for the Society to get back the trust of the profession, which it lost some time ago.
