HHJ Michael Kershaw, "From Beeching to Woolf", The Liverpool Law Review xix/1 (1997), 47-51: This paper argues that the Woolf reforms are part of single process which started a quarter of a century ago and that the Judicature Acts 1873 and 1875 were the beginning of a similar long process of reform in the latter part of the last century. It shows that one of the reforms of the last century has been re-used (the Commercial Court and mercantile lists) and that another (licensed conveyancers) has been reversed in a way which suggests that the present era of reform may not be over for the legal profession.
