Perhaps the Law Society of Scotland can afford to lobby in Westminster because they know that Holyrood is bought and paid for.<br /><br />With approximately 100 lawyers - all paid up members of the Law Society no doubt - drafting legislation, and a qualified and tame solicitor as the worst justice minister in living memory, Holyrood is obviously in the Law Society's back pocket.
