If a paralegal is less likely to be given rights of audience and thus the client is less likely to be pressured into proceeding without counsel then, in my opinion, I have acted in the best interests of the client, your honour.

I wouldn't want to instruct a fellow solicitor advocate because I don't want him stealing my client. I don't know if he's any good. And I won't let another firm brief me, because I don't know how much work is involved, how much preparation I'll need to do, whether I'll be able to accommodate the warned list trial with my work at my won firm, etc.

I'm sorry to say this, your honour, but you're living on cloud cuckoo land.
