I half agree. I’m a bit reluctant to suggest that lawyers stick to their silos, partly because I don’t stick to mine, and partly because cases don’t respect silos, so any of us might conceivably find ourselves having to argue out of silo at some point.

And there are brilliant legal journalists (some lawyers, some not) who manage to say perceptive things across the range.

But where lawyers do write out of their area of expertise, a certain diffidence is often a good idea: and certainly research and (perhaps) discussing with those who do know the area intimately.

As for @spectator, I stopped subscribing a while ago: I decided that reading across a range of views didn’t need to go as far as Rod Liddle. But if they want their readers genuinely to understand the important issue of EU rule of law, I don’t really think they can leave it there.
