However, the legislation provides that this is a Committee with which the Council of the Law Society may not unduly interfere. The committee has now elected its Convenor who is Ms. Carole Ford who recently retired as Head Teacher at Kilmarnock Academy and has previously been a member of the General Teaching Council of Scotland. There is no surprise that the Convenor of the committee appointed to regulate the legal profession in Scotland has no legal qualifications or experience in the practice of law. It is no surprise because solicitors and other legal practitioners are specifically and legally excluded from the appointment. This discrimination does not extend to gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, incapacity, lunacy, being a peer of the realm or having previous convictions for fraud. It does, however, apply to solicitors. There is a prohibition also of there being a majority of solicitors on the Regulatory Committee.<br /><br />We congratulate Mrs Ford on her appointment and look forward to working in the future with the Regulatory Committee in the best interests of the independence and vigour of the legal profession and of the public which depends on that independence and vigour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-85752345467250108932011-11-24T18:46:46.904+00:002011-11-24T18:46:46.904+00:00The court of session as sponsored by the Law Socie...The court of session as sponsored by the Law Society of Scotland.<br /><br />They should just rip the name off and put LSoS up instead!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-57119935749831626482011-11-24T18:19:09.091+00:002011-11-24T18:19:09.091+00:00Nice to hear the lawyer lost.I hope they go for co...Nice to hear the lawyer lost.I hope they go for costs against him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-70130848409067045902011-11-24T17:11:19.647+00:002011-11-24T17:11:19.647+00:00Solicitors From Hell removed from internet as UK H...Solicitors From Hell removed from internet as UK High Court dictatorship grants injunction to Law Society of England & Wales to censor client reviews of lawyers.<br /><br />With the hatred displayed by the Law Society for clients this is a bad move which simply removes independent protection for people's wills, and other financial considerations. <br /><br />YOUR WILL IS AT EVEN GREATER DANGER NOW THAT THESE LAW SOCIETY CRIMINALS DECIDE WHICH LAWYER IS CORRUPT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-13942308527989781952011-11-24T16:58:09.987+00:002011-11-24T16:58:09.987+00:00This is just another instance of the Law Society o...This is just another instance of the Law Society of Scotland giving itself new life under the SNP..<br /><br />If you check back through every admin since 1999 you will find what I have said above is correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-8621261837750127742011-11-24T16:37:55.070+00:002011-11-24T16:37:55.070+00:00Peter I would never trust anyone within the legal ...Peter I would never trust anyone within the legal profession.
