Professor Alan Paterson of the University of Strathclyde, and also more famously a Board member of the lawyer complaints quango the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission, which you can find out more about here : http://petercherbi.blogspot.com/search/label/Scottish%20Legal%20Complaints%20... gives evidence to the Scottish Parliament's Justice Committee on the Legal Services Bill, which aims to reform access to justice in Scotland for all, and allow legal firms to accept outside investment.
There is still however a marked reluctance on the part of the Scottish Parliament & Scottish Government to reform regulation of legal services, where complaints against 'crooked lawyers' in Scotland are reaching ever increasing highs due to the failures of the Law Society of Scotland, the Faculty of Advocates and the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC) who have all been unable to enforce standards of service on Scotland's solicitors, leaving many clients facing ruin after employing a negligent or 'crooked' lawyer who failed to carry out even the simplest of instructions.
There are calls for a fully independent regulator to be created to police Scotland's legal services market, however the legal profession and their political allies are bitterly opposing any such reforms.
The report of the meeting can be read here : http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/s3/committees/justice/or-09/ju09-3402.htm#C... and you can find out more about the Legal Services Bill here : http://petercherbi.blogspot.com/search/label/Legal%20Services%20Bill
