FOCUS OF THE DAY: Tensions between the bodies representing criminal law solicitors and barristers reached breaking point yesterday after the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) was accused of showing a lack of courage and acting unworthily.

FOCUS OF THE DAY: It’s not true that the legal industry is behind the times – in fact, innovation has always been a big part of what makes law such a satisfying profession. Our profession abounds with popular – if often misleading – narratives. One is that the legal industry is slow to change. I disagree: the pace of change in the past decade  has been tremendous.
