If this exercise shows that there are NO GOOD SCOTTISH LAWYERS (those with zero regulatory history) in a particular specialism, then the University Faculties in conjunction with Scottish Legal Experts in Practise can design Scottish Legal Degree Courses that are relavent to CURRENT NEED within Scotland, instead of the Law Society of Scotland influenced same-old sameold!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-86383209201919222292011-10-21T12:51:41.796+01:002011-10-21T12:51:41.796+01:00Someone I know very well in the SNP is one of your...Someone I know very well in the SNP is one of your fans according to a long convo we had.He also believes MacAskill is holding back tougher regulation on lawyers and he told me he fully agreed with Ian Hamilton's withering assessment of MacAskill at justice in a BBC interview which I'm sure you probably have seen.<br /><br />In a nutshell MacAskill is the problem not all the SNP.<br /> <br />20 October 2011 19:35<br /><br /><br />IT IS ALL THE SNP'S PROBLEM UNLESS YOU GO TO THE HEADMASTER AND SAY THAT ONE OF YOUR NUMBER IS MAKING THE SCHOOL PERFORM BADLY AND NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.<br /><br />THE JUSTICE SYSTEM NEEDS ALL OF THE DEADWOOD SHAKEN OUT OF IT BEFORE THE PUBLIC WILL HAVE CONFIDENCE IN IT BEING AT THE CENTRE OF A NEW SCOTLAND, INDEPENDENT OR DEVOLVED. <br /><br />SCOTLAND'S PEOPLE ARE GETTING TREATED A SECOND CLASS CITIZENS, COMPARED WITH THE REST OF THE UK.<br /><br />SCOTLAND'S PEOPLE DESERVE BETTER AND WILL VOTE ACCORDINGLY, ONLY IF BETTER IS ON OFFER!<br /><br />A NEW NON-LAWYER JUSTICE MINISTER, WITH NO LEGAL CONNECTIONS, WITH FRESH, BOLD IDEAS FOR A FRESH BOLD SCOTLAND<br /><br />IF YOU DO NOT TAKE THIS ACTION THEN SCOTLAND WILL CONTINUE TO BE FAST-TRACKED TO A SPLIT SOCIETY TO THE HAVE'S AND HAVE NOT'S, WITH THE MISERY AND SOCIAL UNREST THAT COMES WITH IT.<br /><br />POSSIBLY NOT EVEN A NICE PLACE FOR THE HAVE'S TO LIVE?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-35673531868684961822011-10-20T23:35:46.364+01:002011-10-20T23:35:46.364+01:00Anonymous said...
