WS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

 
 

The modern WS Society supports legal careers and well-being. We aim to enrich life both inside the legal world and in outside interests, such as history, literature, arts, and culture. This is what it means to belong to a lawyers’ institution where law, history and culture converge.

We therefore encourage all members — from student to employment to retired — to join our Special Interest Group (SIG) initiative.

We are pleased to be hosting six SIGs and welcome proposals for others.

Simply register via the link below for any meeting you would like to attend. FAQs are answered here.

    1. A private gallery viewing on the East Coast near Elie.
