It has been signed by 165 practitioners.<br /><br />We, the undersigned Scottish solicitors, write to express our complete lack of confidence in the Law Society of Scotland's ability to adequately represent the interests of the profession.<br /><br />The Society have recently negotiated fundamental changes to the Legal Aid system which are contrary to members' interests; lacking in commercial sense and equity; and which discriminate against those who practise in the Glasgow courts. These changes, which are likely to give rise to a flood of ECHR challenges as a result of their adverse impact on access to justice, were negotiated without full consultation. It beggars belief that a representative body would act in this manner, especially when that body is governed by lawyers.<br /><br />We believe such problems arise from the Society's dual role as representative body and regulator. The conflict of interest which arises from this can be seen in the operation by the Society of a policy whereby it refuses to publicly criticise or question the actions of the Scottish Legal Aid Board, even where the interests of its members demand such an approach. This situation is exacerbated by the undemocratic structures of the Society, which operate to suppress any dissent or criticism of its role. It was this approach which has led to the recent resignation of several high profile Council members.<br /><br />The Law Society of Scotland's demonstrable failure to properly represent the interests of all of its members cannot be allowed to continue. It statutory role as both representative body and regulator is not fit for purpose and satisfies no one except, perhaps, its current office bearers. Solicitors in the rest of the United Kingdom are no longer organised in this way and the profession in Scotland should no longer have to tolerate this situation.<br /><br />Accordingly, we hereby call for the Law Society of Scotland's compulsory representative role to be brought to an end and for a new representative body to be formed."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-51637310695979966112011-07-21T09:48:24.652+01:002011-07-21T09:48:24.652+01:00I think John McGovern, a former Council member of ...I think John McGovern, a former Council member of the Law Society and President of the Glasgow Bar Association, correctly described its modus operandi when he claimed the Society has "a fundamental dishonesty at its core".<br /><br />As you previously reported at;<br /> http://petercherbi.blogspot.com/search?q=mike+daillyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-59320328330768710352011-07-21T09:35:45.797+01:002011-07-21T09:35:45.797+01:00There are I think 129 msps in the Scottish Parliam...There are I think 129 msps in the Scottish Parliament 69 of them are SNP and Mr Salmond chooses one to convene the Justice Committee who has already been there before?<br /><br />Given what you have written I think we know where this so-called Justice Committee is going..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-70705683416146353702011-07-20T22:58:55.730+01:002011-07-20T22:58:55.730+01:00Clearly you are a threat to the Law Society hence ...Clearly you are a threat to the Law Society hence this treatment of you by their top dogs.Even though it has obviously been a very painful experience for you Peter their actions put your credibility way up there and its good to see you using this to help others.<br />Keep up the good work and best wishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-12189069797988056422011-07-20T22:31:00.845+01:002011-07-20T22:31:00.845+01:00No doubt members of the Law Society of Scotland an...No doubt members of the Law Society of Scotland and its lackys elsewhere are rubbing their greasy little hands in glee at the proposect of Christine Grahame MSP as Convener of the Scottish Parliament’s Justice Committee.<br /><br />Result? - No Change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-42460096419639296202011-07-20T22:09:48.329+01:002011-07-20T22:09:48.329+01:00Indeed, I have not forgotten that during the time ...Indeed, I have not forgotten that during the time of the Scotsman’s coverage, disruptive relationships between the legal & accounting profession who were intent on preventing further media reporting on Mr Penman, and, officers of Lothian & Borders Police came to the fore in several incidents, one of which involved the compromising of a costly & lengthy CID surveillance operation.
