Poor law

For lawyers to complain that sometimes they earn less than plumbers surely shows how ripe the legal aid bill is for wholesale reform. Plumbers are not generally known for being low wage earners!! Unfortunately, in reforming and hopefully reducing the criminal legal aid, the savings will be "invested" in increasing the civil legal aid bill rather than returning money to the taxpayer. This means one group of lawyers simply lose out to another group of lawyers!!
