for the next 2 years, the law society are flooding 700 more qualified
solicitors into an already saturated field. In the last 10 years, the
legal profession has doubled and is growing at almost 10% a year.
There are no jobs now or opportunity for growth - the housing bubble
distorted the market completely and it is us the guinea fodder that
will suffer the most. the law society are content to continue
taking the extortionate fe1 fees and ppc1 fees forever despite the
condition of the market place as this is a major source of revenue for
them. They do not have regard that most people have slaved through
degrees, fe1s and then have to enter an apprenticeship on slave money
despite the majority of other professions being looked after on
considerably better terms. we need to form a cohesive voice to
negotiate better terms as at it stands at the moment - apprenticeships
are few and far between and are going to revert back to 'family
connections' being the main door of entry to the legal profession.
