The cutting of legal aid will mean that only the rich or lucky will be able to afford justice. The crucial point is this: you are assigned a lawyer who will get a fixed sum regardless of the outcome. As a defendant, you will not be able to fire your lawyer if he/she is shit.
In the new system there is no need to specialise. All you need to be able to do is persuade your client to plead guilty as quickly as possible. Failing that finding a way to get the case dismissed as quickly as possible with the minimum amount of work.
It is a cruel and deliberately unjust system. Potentially it will be brought in without so much as a vote in parliament.
On the plus side, it will drag britian kicking and screaming into the 19th century, which is where most torys want to be.
