Can I make a suggestion to the great and the good at the Bar Council?

Rather than deal in generalities and platitudes (which the public will no doubt see as lawyer-waffle), they should rather issue some actual 'case studies' with identifiable Barristers, to show to the media/public of how poorly they claim to be paid.

Press Release:

"Would YOU represent an innocent Rape Defendant for £4 per hour?"

Miss B did did 2 prelim hearings, 2 days preparation, and then 2 weeks at trial staying up to 11pm each night, all for (say) £950 - an hourly rate of (say) £4 p/h.

Only then can the public see that it's not special pleading.

And that will be 10 guineas please...
