News
We wish to be able to communicate with new lawyers regularly and directly, in the same we we have always communicated with qualified solicitors who are our members. We have historically relied on the support of universities, and training organisations, to pass on information to LLB students, Diploma students, and trainee solicitors. It has also been a challenge for us to make contact with new lawyers who are in between stages.
