Lets all sit back and relax. I have no doubt the Law Society and the so-called Representative bodies will all enjoy biscuits and tea from the MoJ Brexit stockpile whilst discussions take place on all sorts of interesting versions of the Unicorn myth that is the reform of the criminal justice system.
Meanwhile, in the real world, duty solicitorand legal aid supplier numbers will fall and will keep falling. And then the Big Firms and G4S etc will bid to provide national coverage in Police Stations and as Court Duty with the suspect/defendant unable to choose/change representation to another legal aid provider once the duty is instructed.
The Americanisation of the Criminal Justice system will be almost complete with only Secret Barrister and Leigh Day left to shout about "human rights".
Can The Law Society come up with a plan to protest against this now and stop playing along with the MoJ delay tactics. Please.
