Play a part in our profession!

The Law Society of Scotland is the professional governing body for Scottish Solicitors and aspires to be truly reflective of the modern shape of the profession. We are looking for committed individuals to be Lay Members on the Council – the Society’s governing body.

These positions will play a crucial role in ensuring a strong, independent and regulated profession. Lay Members are non-solicitors from all walks of life who provide critical experience and insight from the perspective of the general public. They will play a significant role in our Council and their views, experience and knowledge will play a key part in our discussions. Lay members have been full members of the Society’s Council for the last six years.

This is an opportunity for people from every part of the community to use their knowledge and life experience to make a positive difference for us all. If you have a genuine interest in the Society and would like to make a contribution to the effective practice of law in our country, we would love to hear from you.
