NATIONAL LAW SOCIETY ELECTION FOR THE MANCHESTER, SALFORD & DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER

  • 12/06/2018

The national Law Society Council is YOUR governing body.  The Council’s role includes: deciding our position on major policy issues; setting the Society’s budget; and recommending the level of the practising certificate fee to the Legal Services Board. It comprises 100 seats: 61 for solicitors elected from geographical constituencies and 39 seats elected or nominated from special interest groups or from different areas of practice.

As part of a wider review of the Law Society’s governance, the size and composition of the Council itself is under review. No changes have been agreed, and these elections are therefore being conducted on the basis of the current arrangements. Candidates should be aware, therefore, that if changes are made this may affect their tenure.

There is a vacancy for the Manchester, Salford & Stockport District Council member.

We have two nominees for one seat!  Steve Kuncewicz who is currently one of our national law society council members and Jonathan Broad.  Please see their statements below.
