The value to society is immense. The monetary value is obviously the sticking point. There used to be a published document in NI showing what legal professionals earned each year via legal aid. I found some of the figures astounding - from memory, top earner wasn’t far off £1,000,000 and their wife was in the top five with over £500,000. I would like to think was hard earned.
Not sure if the list is still published.Edit. This is a news story but not recent.

I'm not actually advocating any particular position on this - i'm just curious, as a criminal barrister, how much people think the value we bring to society is worth ;)
