MINDING THE LAW

In 1997, the Bar Council, which regulates the behaviour of barristers, appointed Michael Scott, a recently retired soldier with a distinguished war record but no legal experience, to head its first Complaints Commission to deal with the public's complaints against the legal profession. This is his fascinating account of his years in the post.

In 1997, Consiliul Baroului, care reglementeaza comportamentul avocatilor, l-a numit pe Michael Scott, un soldat recent pensionat, cu un istoric de razboi distins, dar fara experienta juridica, sa conduca prima sa Comisie de plangeri care sa se ocupe de plangerile publicului impotriva profesiei de avocat. Acesta este relatarea lui fascinanta despre anii petrecuti in post.
