The oversupply of qualified lawyers denied entry to the profession has led to a ‘burgeoning body of paralegals’ that will have a profound effect on solicitors and barristers, former bar chairman Nick Green QC said last week.
At a conference on legal education in London last week, Green said the paralegal market, which is ‘burgeoning at an alarming rate’, is one of the biggest challenges to face the professions.
He said: ‘The burgeoning body of paralegals is already affecting the structure of the profession, and will do so increasingly in the near future.’
