The specialist sub-committees are fundamental to the representation activity of Liverpool Law Society as a membership organisation for the legal profession in and around the Liverpool City Region. They exist to enable the exchange of information and views, to formulate responses to consultation papers and encourage debate on areas of mutual interest by members of Liverpool Law Society. As one committee member observed “When I responded to consultations, I’ve really enjoyed it and it’s fed directly into my own learning and development record, my reflective competency statement, because it forces you to get ahead of the law, to see what’s coming, to inter-relate it to what you already know. ”
Members of the Specialist Committees also contribute ideas, suggestions and hot topics towards the Society’s legal education training programme. Forums and special meetings are sometimes organised as a result at which wider participation from beyond the Society’s members is encouraged.
