Over 30 recommendations made to improve legal services

Over 30 recommendations have been made to improve the Island's legal services.

It comes following an independent review, with proposals aimed at ensuring high standards of services and improving access for those interested in a career in law.

Recommendations range from having regular reviews of how trainee advocates are assessed, reforming entry requirements for qualified lawyers outside the Island, and publishing a Code of Conduct for advocates.

The findings of the review will be debated at the October sitting of Tynwald.
