Following the reorganisation of the Law Society’s internal governance, leading to the creation of the new Board I, like others, remain hopeful, that there will now be a greater agility shown by the Law Society, in terms of it reacting to events, such as the current crisis in justice.

There has been no shortage of dreadful events during the last few years, which have underlined the need for a well-resourced legal system, which is, at so many levels, the engine of any modern democracy.

I recall at a previous EGM or SGM of the Law Society, requisitioned by some of its members, that there was a call for the Law Society to adopt a more robust stance and campaign to stem the erosion of access to justice in this country.

The practice of law is more than just a business - it involves, or should involve, the ethical use of asymmetric knowledge for the benefit of a client.

Therefore, I would hope and expect, that the Law Society
would develop a strategy to stop the rot,in terms of what was once a legal system admired around the world.
