Matthew,

I am not trying to exclude anyone. I recognise the value of CILEX as a form of accreditation for paralegals but I do not accept that they are lawyers properly so-called. This is my view as a trainee solicitor and I know this view is shared by a great many other trainees and qualified lawyers (i.e. solicitors and barristers). The public are entitled to expect that fully qualified lawyers oversee the work done on their behalf.

I trust this clarifies things.
