Change is afoot in the legal profession

As an industry, the legal profession is not famed for its rapid change. There are still practitioners who wear horse-hair wigs and gowns in court, even though there is no obligation to do so.

Sara Phelan SC, Chair of the Bar of Ireland joined Joe this morning on the show with more on this.
