In his classic work "The Prince" Niccolo Machiavelli said:
"a prince wishing to keep his state is very often forced to do evil"

It is in the very DNA of all lawyers to obey the rules, and because of this, we are rubbish at fighting our corner, or campaigning for a properly resourced Rule of Law.

The leader of the Bar has issued the opening shot in a fight back, since lawyers of both branches of the legal profession have for years been treated with utter contempt.

The President of the Law Society must be similarly robust, and, if necessary, seek the assistance from solicitors outside the Council, to confront the government on a range of issues.

The time for fine words is over.
