I had the privilege of hearing Chris Kenny of England’s Legal Services Board speak a few weeks ago at Harvard Law. He is the first administrator of the English government-based lawyer regulation system which recently replaced the traditional model where judges and courts regulate the bar.
While it might have been interesting to hear Kenny speak about how England has joined Australia in non-lawyer regulation of the bar, he instead spoke on the topic of how well non-lawyer investment in law firms has gone. It is a real success story.
