I'm certainly coming across more solicitors applying and there are some excellent candidates who are being appointed. But the Bar have much more effective mentoring schemes and training and I still think there are two other core factors:
1. Research shows people select/appoint in their own image and there are more ex-barristers on the selection panels;
2. Reluctance of many firms to lose their most talented and support their solicitors in developing this as a career path.
