Professor Chris Bones, chair of CILEx, makes the case for reforming professional regulation, in this week’s NLJ
Welcoming Professor Stephen Mayson’s review, ‘Reforming legal services’, Professor Bones writes: ‘The continuing insistence on professional differentiation based on whether or not a lawyer has qualified through academic study, or through learning on the job is entirely inappropriate in a modern society.’
Also in this week’s issue, Kingsley Napley senior associate Jessica Clay and legal counsel Lucy Williams look at the potential for lasting reform and predict ‘small steps, as opposed to a dramatic step-change’.
