No listen, the 700women group got Congress to pass the violence against women
act and Bush passed that new law, but there is also this:

This is the relevant part of the article:
The barristers have reacted by abolishing many of the traditional rules which
insisted that a client couldn't hire them directly, but had to go through
solicitors, which, of course, led to much duplication of work and higher legal
costs. Now, for many kinds of cases, clients can go straight to barristers, so,
it is claimed, making the whole process cheaper. The other day the bar was
overjoyed to come upon a case in the court of appeal in which one litigant, a
bank, which had gone to solicitors first, had accumulated a bill of £68,000,
whereas their opponents, who had gone directly to a barrister, had legal costs
of just £6,400.
"Ten times cheaper," trumpeted the bar.
That's there in the States. Check it out. Phone a barrister and ask how much,
and phone a lawyer and ask how much. I'm in favour of using barristers after my
experience with an American lawyer. I certainly wouldn't recommend him to
anybody. There is also a California law collective linked into my Absolute
Anarchy blog who may be of use.
