THE Law Society of Scotland has announced plans for a review into its work on legal aid after solicitors threatened to break away from the body.
The society's president and vice-president will lead the wide-ranging review, which will look at alternatives to the organisation's legal aid negotiating team.
It follows concerns from lawyers over the body's decision to accept amendments to controversial legal aid plans despite the majority of its members voting against them.
