Conclusion
The legal professions’ relationship with employers has often been problematic. While there has been a growing need to focus regulation on organisations, the mechanisms of control have been underdeveloped.
This has been demonstrated by the mixed experience of trying to ensure equal access to the professions and accommodating more diverse membership. There are also various practical issues that the profession has had to confront. One is the increasing orientation of the profession towards commerce. This has given large firms a growing role in training new lawyers. It has also seen a decline in the availability of public service legal careers. These shifts in employment patterns present challenges to the coherence of the professional framework and to the training system.The LSA 2007, and the regulatory regime now emerging, is placing increasing emphasis on the role of organisations in educating and training lawyers. Employers may be offered opportunities to pioneer new routes to qualification in-house and to determine individual competence thereafter. The regulator’s role in the qualification process is conceived to be the mere setting of standards. These may be no more specific than broad outcomes. This poses the question of whether, and if so how, professions should continue to play a role in devising and inculcating professional values and standards.
