“To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?”
It was a delight and honour to host our Fellows, members and esteemed guests for this year’s annual dinner on Friday 14 November.
We are grateful to our guest speaker, The Right Honourable Lord Hodge, Deputy President of the UK Supreme Court, who spoke on the themes of change and continuity in the era of AI and populism.
Deputy Keeper of the Signet, Jim Cormack KC WS said: “It was a massive honour to chair my first Annual Dinner as Deputy Keeper last Friday evening. The lovely audience were very kind to me and laughed….in the right places!
Both Lord Hodge and former Lord President, Lord Carloway, were admitted Fellows at the dinner. As always, it was a great pleasure to have our fantastic Keeper, Lady Elish Angiolini close the evening with her remarks.
Thank you to the wonderful team at Heritage Portfolio for outstanding hospitality.”
Among many plaudits, one guest commented “[A] top evening at the WS Society annual dinner last night. A truly snazzy junket from start to finish. It was a privilege to hear Lord Hodge’s thoughts on AI and the law!”
