  1. 129 more QCs! Is that actually merited in the public interest? Some years ago there was a move to abolish this rank but it survived. It always looked like vested interests prevailed over the public interest. Can this rank be truly defended these days?

  2. I would add to my post above that the consultaion (held by the former DCA) produced some interesting responses. The one by the London Solicitors Litigation Association struck me as being particularly convincing in arguing that it should not be the State which makes these awards to members of a profession and that distinctions between different forms of advocate should be avoided.

  3. The reason QC was kept was that it is still worth a lot of money to those who receive it (average increase in fees). It also commands respect internationally (they love it at The Hague and in New York) and produces leaders for the profession. Solicitor advocates have been recipients for some time - one of them now sits in the Supreme Court. It is no longer awarded by the State (save in formal terms) but by a mixed lay and professional appointments panel.
