Director General's Report
Director General Mark Garrett reports on delivery of the Law Society Strategy.
The Law Society of Ireland’s purpose, ambition and vision act as touchstones in an ever-changing environment and within a growing and dynamic profession.
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. The incoming president selects the chair and members of each committee and places their names before the Council for approval.
The Council regulations divide the committees into two categories: ‘standing committees’ and ‘non-standing committees’. In addition, various subcommittees, task forces, and working groups are established to deal with different legislative and operational matters, as they arise.
