NO JUDGES SO NO TRIALS

Last Thursday 2nd June I posted on the recently completed selection procedure for judges.  It seems that the MOJ might have miscalculated supply and demand.  Whilst to the man on the fabled Clapham omnibus judicial salaries might appear to be an unobtainable  small fortune, to those aspiring beaks who currently inhabit the ranks of the legal profession the numbers are just not enticing enough to make the move from appearing in front of the bench to sitting upon it.  In two regions crown court cases have been postponed owing to the lack of suitably qualified judges; in East Anglia and Kent. 

 On all fronts our judicial system seems to have more problems than can be solved. With there no longer being a level legal playing field and equality of legal arms now a part of history perhaps we should allow for trial by combat.
