Is this thinking right? Could this sort of scheme, when finally introduced, be interfering with security and changing the way lawyers are perceived by the general public? Would eyebrows be raised with the public construing the move as discriminatory and lawyers seen as some kind of demi-gods? These questions underlie the importance of pilot testing, which has been rightly proposed. If it were decided in the aftermath that this was the right course of action, then it must be rolled out fully to include trainees as they will also be attending courts. Putting the various pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together, it would appear that security would be strengthened through a formidable ID system, overseen by the regulator itself. While all this may sound lofty with the idea resembling an impregnable fortress, what happens if your phone is hacked into or fall into the wrong hands? Whilst I am not sceptical about the potential success if the scheme, it may high time that such a scheme was introduced.
