FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Law Society has said it will oppose regulatory changes that could lead to unregulated solicitors providing unreserved services to the public. The Society was responding to a Legal Services Board discussion paper, Are regulatory restrictions in practising rules for in-house lawyers justified? Publishing its discussion paper in February, LSB chief executive Richard Moriarty said the board was concerned unnecessary restrictions on in-house lawyers’ ability to innovate and expand their reach 'may have the potential to impose costs and red tape, frustrate choice and adversely affect access to justice’.

FOCUS OF THE DAY: Legal campaign group Justice has proposed a radical new system of dispute resolution. A Justice working party this week recommended that “lower level” qualified and trained dispute resolution officers (to be known as registrars) be introduced to deal with the bulk of cases in the civil courts and tribunals. The registrar would identify issues, correct procedure and necessary evidence in each case, and resolve many of the disputes at an early stage through neutral evaluation and mediation. Only cases requiring high-level judicial expertise would be referred on to a judge. Full story - New Law Journal
