Date set for Law Society Council nominations
Nominations have opened for elections to the Law Society of Ireland Council, with a deadline of 5pm on Monday 13 September.
Candidates must be nominated by two fellow members of the Law Society, and one member cannot nominate more than two candidates.
The Council, which governs the Society, comprises 31 elected members, four provincial delegates and 13 nominated members.
Important role
At least eight Council meetings are held each year. Membership of the Council allows solicitors to play an important role in shaping and developing the future of their profession.
Once nominations are in, candidates have until 5pm on Thursday 7 October to submit canvassing literature for distribution to members.
The poll closes at 5pm on Thursday 28 October, with the count being held the following day, 29 October.
