Scotland Northern Ireland Ireland Europe Local Law Societies

There are 127 local law societies, some of which have their own web sites. These are listed on the main Law Society page but you have to know where to look - take "Links" from the top right corner of the narrow banner heading and then "Local Law Societies" from the list on the left. Here is one particularly large and active one.....

  • Liverpool Law Society was founded in 1827 and now has 1,600 members in practice within the Merseyside area. It is one of the largest law societies in England and Wales. Membership is broad and varies from practitioners engaged in high value commercial work to complex charity work; from Maritime law to legal aid. There is a major law library which is one of the largest outside London and the Society runs its own CPD courses and arranges special events and exhibitions. and here is a smaller, rural one
  • Norfolk and Norwich Law Society have launched a new web site showing what can be done by knowing what you are trying to do and then doing it well. As solicitor Tessa Shepperson says (who is secretary of the group and herself provides an important site on Landlord Law) "Non members can read about the society, do a search for a local solicitors firm, and read about our courses as well as read articles submitted by members (there is only one at present but hopefully we will have some more soon), and read about the annual Norfolk Law lecture. There is more information for NNLS members but this is password protected. We also have a newsflash service for members, which keeps them informed of what is going on. Non members can ask to go on our mailing list to be kept informed of our courses." It is an attractive site with some very nice photographs of local landscapes - if you've got it, flaunt it!
