FOCUS OF THE DAY: Is the Bar a profession in decline? A recent Bar Council report entitled Snapshot about women barristers’ experience today led to lurid headlines. “Shocking levels of rampant sexism,” screamed The Independent, while The Times claimed, “sexist comments were rife.” These claims were a complete distortion, as anyone who bothered to read the report would have spotted immediately. They do not represent current experiences at all; rather, they are anecdotes from a few individuals about the distant past. Full story - The Lawyer

FOCUS OF THE DAY: Anger is mounting in the profession about the current state of civil litigation, court fees and costs budgeting, according to the results of the latest NLJ /LSLA litigation trends survey. Court fees, which have risen by more than 600% in some cases, are a major irritation for litigation lawyers, with 90% of respondents stating that they believe the hike will affect clients’ decisions to commence proceedings. David Greene, NLJ consultant editor and senior partner at Edwin Coe, says: “The Ritz is probably cheaper now than the Central London County Court but at least the Ritz does not run a monopoly.” Full story - New Law Journal
