Bournemouth & DistricT Junior Lawyers Division

Bournemouth & District Junior Lawyers Division

The BDJLD social calendar has had a busy few months and is set to continue throughout the year with lots of exciting events in the pipeline!

Since the last edition, we hosted our Christmas Canapés evening on 16 December 2022 at the Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel. The evening was kindly sponsored by Pump Court Chambers, who continue to support our events. It was lovely to see everyone dressed up for the occasion and let their hair down for the evening. We also had a guest appearance from Alfie the magician, who brought some extra festive sparkle to the event with his mystifying magic tricks!

On 11 January 2023, we kicked off the New Year with a very insightful webinar: ‘Drafting A Witness Statement For Civil Proceedings In The County Court’ hosted by our very own David Kemeny of 3PB and Conor Maher of Ellis Jones Solicitors. We had a great turn out and the content was valuable for every litigator, no matter their level of experience. Thanks once again, David and Conor - we look forward to future webinars!

On 23 January 2023, we hosted our first ever Yoga evening at Jodie Anne Fitness in Poole. Firstly, thanks to Jodie for having us. It was certainly a stress-busting evening and left attendees feeling chilled and prepared for the rest of the working week – what better way to fight the January blues! We plan to host more events aimed at dealing with the stresses of our members’ busy working lives.

Our next event is our Cheese & Wine evening on 02 March 2023 at Renoufs in Southbourne, sponsored by Index Property Information. More details will follow on the BDJLD social media pages. After last year’s success, make sure to save the date and secure your place once booking is available – this is an evening you will not want to miss!
