It was a pleasure to return to ⁦@BelfastRoyalAc⁩ last week. The wig & gown proved to be a hit. https://t.co/AekfbzR9KL

The approach to the end of the legal term can be hectic for practitioners - making it difficult to switch off when it's finally time to take some downtime.

Thankfully @LawCareLtd has provided some helpful tips for getting the most out of your break.

A pleasure to sponsor and host the wonderful Pro Bono Choir at Stormont last night, a talented amateur choir of @TheBarofNI and @LawSociety_NI lawyers singing for good causes, in this case @IncludeYouth and @NIautism

For once, the Hill was alive with the sound of (good) music..

Wow. @EmmaWatson joined the IBA Conference in Miami today to speak at the seminar “Men of quality respect women’s equality” Very apt considering our own LCJ launched the Legal Diversity Project on 22nd October. A great way to bring the conversation to a global stage. @TheBarofNI

Some lawyers have argued in support of the government’s actions.

Other lawyers have argued in support of the rights of those affected.

All have done their professional duty to their client, irrespective of personal or political belief.

All are essential to the rule of law.
