The practice of not allowing solicitors to be called to the High Court was amended in 2001. I think it was a very good move as it gave far greater scope to people who wish to apply for positions. It meant that much more of the expertise and experience that exists can be used. I imagine that some fine solicitors could do a very fine job at that level. The artificial divide between the two branches of the legal profession amuses those of us who are not lawyers, although perhaps "amuses" might not be the right word. The barriers need to be broken down because they do not serve the public well. Some of the barriers were removed from the system by means of legislation, but it seems they found their way back in by virtue of custom, practice and prejudice. I agree with the speaker who said that there is little, if any, flexibility, in respect of judicial assignments or resources. The sad fact that we are here, having to pass primary legislation in order to appoint two people to the High Court, is evidence of this. I am delighted that the Minister is examining this area and is prepared to do something about it.
