FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Solicitors Regulation Authority has hit back at claims that it has pre-empted formal consultation on how it will assess trainees under proposed new routes into the profession. Last week the Law Society said it was ‘deeply concerned’ that the SRA had expressed its preference for one of three proposed training routes before consulting the profession. The Society said that the SRA's preferred route would involve centralised assessments against the competence statement for solicitors published in April. The statement would replace mandatory training contracts, the legal practice course or a law degree. Full story - The Law Society Journal

FOCUS OF THE DAY: The increase in advertising legal services is having a negative effect on the justice system, according to a survey of 1,261 members of the public. The poll, conducted by Britain Thinks, found that 71% of people thought that advertising had increased in the last three years, and of them, two-thirds thought it had a negative effect on the justice system. There were similar findings in relation to the growth of ‘no win, no fee’ cases, while there was even greater negativity over “people ‘trying their luck’ to get compensation” and sales calls or texts.
