Dominic Regan, Visiting Professor in The City Law School chaired the biggest Webinar in legal history, in conjunction with the New Law Journal earlier this month.
The discussion took place following British Judge Sir Rupert
Jackson's proposals to reduce costs of litigation, and was streamed
live on the NLJ website.
Regan, a leading authority on civil procedure and costs, was joined
by His Honour Michael Cook; David Greene, NLJ consultant Editor and
President of the London Solicitors Litigation Association, Edwin
Coe; Bob Musgrove, Chief Executive of the Civil Justice Council;
Nick Bevan, Senior Counsel, Bond Pearce and Simon Butler, Ely Place
Chambers.
The panellists gave immediate analysis of the Jackson report as
well as their predictions of the report's potential impact on the
legal profession.
The webinar was so popular that large numbers of visitors to the
site caused it to crash. It can now be viewed online.
See the full text of Lord Justice Jackson's review on Civil
Litigation Costs via the Judiciary website.
This year sees the end of the Bar Vocational Course and the introduction of the new Bar Professional Training Course.
In the latest issue of Counsel magazine, Marcus Soanes, Senior Lecturer at The City Law School and Director of the Part Time BVC, critiques the new course and argues that the new path for legal education is "evolution not revolution".
Counsel, January 2010, pp.14-16
