About the Law Society of Ireland
This year, the Law Society of Ireland is celebrating the first 100 years of women serving in the solicitors’ profession. Mary (‘Maureen’) Teresa Sheehan (née Corboy) qualified as a solicitor in 1942, becoming the 64th woman to be admitted to the roll. On the cover are Maureen’s daughter Joanne Sheehan (solicitor and principal of Cornelius Sheehan & Co, Monkstown, Co Dublin) and Maureen’s granddaughter Anna Sheehan (solicitor with IHREC) who holds a photo of Maureen.
The Law Society exercises statutory functions under the Solicitors Acts 1954 to 2015 in relation to the education, admission, enrolment, discipline and regulation of the solicitors’ profession.
The Law Society is led on a day-to-day basis by the director general, Mark Garrett, who leads a group of six departmental heads as part of his executive leadership team.
The Law Society’s committees are appointed by the Council. Their term of office runs from the November Council meeting each year until the November Council meeting the following year.
