- Should we have on legal profession?
- Advantages
- reduced costs - only one needed
- same lawyer could "see it through" from Police Station to Crown Court
- less duplication of work
- lawyer would know case more thoroughly therefore more prepared + wouldn't need to pass it on
- continuity
- less chance of something going wrong in the "hand over"
- documents could go missing
- Avoid problems of barristers running over time with cases
- Direct Access
- Barristers can see civil cases from start til end
- under Legal Service Act 2007
- Disadvantages
- decrease in specialist advocacy skills
- loss of independent bar and the expertise that are available to all
- loss of objectivity
- sometimes new lawyers see things different angle
- second opinion might be good idea
- loss of cab rank rule
- barristers are available to all solicitors
- if all barristers are now all "attorneys" pool of expertise will not be on first come first serve basis
- Advantages
