    Commission on Justice in Wales Oral Evidence Session 18th January 2019 Present: Commission members Secretariat team Mark Evans (ME) Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, Chair Andrew Felton, Simon Davies Secretary to the Paul Hopkins QC (PH) Professor Elwen Evans QC Commission Rhodri Williams QC (RW) Dr Nerys Llewelyn Jones Dave Gordon Juliet Lyon CBE Chris James Frances Edwards (FE) Sarah Payne CBE Rhys Thomas Professor Rick Rawlings Professor Peter Vaughan Question area: Welsh Government funding apprenticeships in the legal sector FE: CILEx believes there is an opportunity to expand legal apprenticeships to increase diversity in the legal sector and retain talent in Wales. Qualifying can’t be seen as “one size fits all” and there needs to be lower level apprenticeships feeding into higher level apprenticeships. Apprenticeships should not be seen by employers as a less valuable route into law than the university route. There is demand in Wales for apprenticeships leading to higher level qualifications but there is not a pool of providers at the moment. Employers may be dissuaded from following the apprenticeship route if there are onerous and bureaucratic requirements that relate to funding. Policy and funding models should take these factors into account and if so CILEx supports the expansion of apprenticeships in the legal sector. PH: If apprenticeship funding could be used to create means to fund additional pupillages in Wales, particularly in the field of civil law to build the cohort of civil practitioners in Wales, this would be something the Circuit would support. It is important to build the base of practitioners in Wales who could then do work for the Welsh Government.

  • Barriers to the Legal Profession

    Barriers to the Legal Profession

    Barriers to the legal profession Rosaline Sullivan July 2010 1 Introduction “Increasingly, children‟s success at school determines their success as adults, determining whether and where they go to college (university), what profession they enter, and how much they are paid” (Buckham and Lee, 2002). The provision of legal services at the highest levels and in the most prestigious firms is dominated by white, male lawyers from the highest socio-economic groups. Our belief is that such an outcome does not occur as a result of overt discrimination but instead barriers to entry and progression occur over the lifetime of individuals seeking a career in law from initial education, to training, to gaining experience within a law firm. This paper explores each stage that an individual follows in pursuing a career in law and the evidence that can help explain the socio-economic characteristics of lawyers we see in England and Wales. Overall purpose of research The Legal Services Board (LSB) has been formed to reform and modernise the regulation of the legal services market place in the interests of consumers. One focus of the LSB‟s first year was on “promoting access to a diverse profession”. In 2010/11 the LSB extends this area of focus to “developing a workforce for a changing market”, enabling us to consider more widely what consumers and procurers of legal services need, want and should be able to expect from the legal workforce. Promoting a legal workforce that is open to the widest pool of talent is recognised across the sector and government as a priority area.
