Editorial Dec/Jan 2022/23

A real bumper edition of the DDLS Bulletin with lots of varied activities going on in the world of this local law society thanks largely to the hard work and enthusiasm of the management team Tina, Oliver and especially Manesha. Well done.

If you are inspired to join the committee then please drop me an e-mail. We meet every 8 weeks or so and, as can be seen from the exciting happenings reported on in this edition, we are looking to refresh and revitalise Derby and District Law Society.

The Derby City Schools Debate Competition

will begin after Christmas and my usual thanks for all those members who have committed to help judge. This year we have offered a two hour session in schools to introduce the children to debating, public speaking and presenting themselves with confidence. I have delivered the session in three schools reaching 70 children. I am pleased to say the response from the teachers and children has been excellent – the main feedback word has been “confidence”!

Happy Christmas and see you in the New Year. Take care, Julia Saunders admin@derbylaw.net 01283 734989
