CRIMINAL lawyers throughout Scotland could soon be able to vote online on issues affecting the profession, under new proposals by the regulatory body.
The Law Society of Scotland has put forward plans for an e-voting system after carrying out a review into its work on legal aid.
A discussion paper outlining the society's vision for the future also suggests the possibility of an online forum where solicitors can keep up-to-date with issues and contribute to any discussion.
