    We're in the wrong business

    Preparation work rates range from £70 to £100 gross per hour for a junior barrister to £91 to £145 per hour for a QC. For a day in court the rates range from £285 to £476 for a top QC. In a privately funded case, he or she could earn at least double that. A commercial barrister earns up to £500 an hour.

    And the client is assumed innocent until proven bankrupt.

          I wonder if I can get this contract by reading 'law for dummies'

            No. If you do that you will know more about the law than most lawyers and that will scare them.
