Focus: The law society: Chancery lame

Just had a look at the Law Society's annual accounts for 2009, interesting to see how much the profession pays for these people: "Practising certificate (PC) fee income reported in the year amounted to £126.0m, compared with £103.7m in 2008. On the face of it this represents an increase of £22.3m or 21.5%." I.e. the Law Society in 2009 - when lawyers all over the place were seeing less income, saw its own income rise by 21.5%. Then you just have to add in the nice big fat salaries and pension contributions to the execs and you have a jolly nice gravy train.
