Recent research among 2,000 CILEX lawyers found many have faced discrimination and unfair treatment by their solicitor colleagues
Writing in this week’s NLJ, CILEX Chair Professor Chris Bones looks into this disturbing revelation, which coincided with findings of widespread bullying and harassment in the legal profession by LawCare and the Bar Council.

Professor Bones warns of ‘a crisis of culture’ in the legal profession, still dominated by the privately educated, and with progress often stifled by outdated and old-fashioned mores.
