Example text
The debate over cost cutting displayed numerous contradictions. If most solicitors were unqualified to represent legally aided clients, why allow them to practise on the privately paying? Government sought to mobilise popular resentment of lawyers by attacking the very concentration it was fostering, denouncing firms that mass processed clients and ‘naming and shaming’ the highest earners. Both government and the media played on popular ambivalence toward litigation (especially in contrast to social services like health, education, food, and shelter) by exposing fraudulent claims and caricaturing a complaint culture they imputed to America.
Lawyers threatened to strike, and the government confidently called their bluff. The profession was acutely uncomfortable claiming to champion client interests while employing trade union tactics that could seriously hurt them. The media gleefully led populist attacks. ’ Lawyers were ‘rich’ ‘bigwigs’, guilty of ‘chronic wastage’, operating a ‘sausage factory’ for guilty pleas. ’ ‘Loony’ legal aid encouraged ‘bizarre’ lawsuits and served foreigners, crooks, and millionaires. One reason for the profession’s defeat was its disunity.
This was the environment in which Martin Mears and Robert Sayer won election to the Council (independently) in 1994 and as president and vicepresident in 1995. Mears played on his colleagues’ anxieties with fantasies of turning back the clock by limiting vocational course places (and hence entry), restoring conveyancing scale fees, and excluding cut-price conveyancers from SIF. ’ He championed small firms, making no pretence to represent all solicitors. Contesting the presidency for the first time in over 40 years, Mears emulated Ronald Reagan, running as an outsider seeking power to shrink the Society and promptly appealing to members over the heads of the Council.
