Why We Are Concerned About the SRA's Failure and What That Means to the Profession of Lawyers in the UK
Regulated by the fox that watches over the hen house
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) will be discussed in a long new series, starting tomorrow [1, 2].
Outsourcing to Microsoft, revolving doors (a form of corruption) and apathy towards victims are to be shown based on direct communications, sans personal details of SRA staff. As I explained to them many times, this is nothing personal, as the failure is collective or institutional.
It needs to be illuminated despite the fact that most Brits already know that the SRA is a miserable failure. Earlier this month the SRA nearly collapsed.
Unregulated industries will lose their credibility as there is a threat of growing perception that they operate outside the law rather than practice law. █
