Bu’r adolygiad yn un eang ei gwmpas ac ystyriwyd, ymhlith materion eraill, ddatblygu gweithgareddau cyfraith fasnachol ymhellach, pwysigrwydd y Bar, arloesi er mwyn ymateb i’r datblygiadau mewn technoleg, effaith caffael gyhoeddus a’r goblygiadau posibl o greu awdurdodaeth gyfreithiol Gymreig. Mae’n anorfod, fodd bynnag, yn sgil yr amserlen fer ar gyfer cynnal yr adolygiad a’i gylch gorchwyl eang, fod rhai meysydd lle na fu’n bosibl i’r ymgynghorwyr ddarparu argymhellion cadarn. Mae hyn yn arbennig o wir o ran y ffordd y mae cyfreithwyr yn chwarae rôl gymdeithasol mor hanfodol i ddarparu gwasanaethau cyfreithiol mewn cymunedau lleol, a sut y gallwn ni feithrin arferion da sy’n dod i’r amlwg wrth gynnig prentisiaethau cyfreithiol. Byddaf yn ystyried y materion hyn ymhellach maes o law.
The review has been wide ranging, considering among other matters the further development of commercial law activities, the importance of the bar, innovation in light of developments in technology, the impact of public procurement and the potential implications of the creation of a Welsh legal jurisdiction. The short timescale for the review and its broad terms of reference have, however, inevitably meant there are some areas in which it has not been possible for the consultants to provide firm recommendations, This is particularly the case in relation to how lawyers play such a vital role in providing legal services in local communities, and how we can build on emerging good practice in offering legal apprenticeships. I will be giving further thought to these issues.
