The Public have a general perception of solicitors as fat cats and in the same bracket as estate agents, bankers and the staff at the inland revenue.

My experience tells me that the public may not be particularly sympathetic and not bothered by complex arguments, if it means a solicitor "goes down".

How about instead the panel is made up of "peers" - i.e. legally qualified individuals. The rise of check-my-fees type firms and other such groups should demonstrate that most solicitors certainly don't close ranks but are in fact quite happy to lynch their colleagues.
