The Legal Services Commission would like someone from LAGLA to participate in this workshop. If you are interested, please register with them and let us know. Of course you cannot speak on behalf of LAGLA as a whole at the workshop, although that is, it seems, not their aim.
Our members directory – visible only to other members – is a great way to make sure you find those again you have talked to at the last do etc. Remember, to be included you will need to:
Here is how to do it:
Individual profiles will never be shown on the public part of our website (other than for Committee members), but please note that since membership is free, anyone can sign up.
The AGM last night approved a new constitution which now means we can move on to a web-based membership system. This also allows us to have free membership for 2010.
We hope that the loss in revenue from membership contributions will be met through other ways including donations from members (some may leave their standing orders in place), corporate membership and sponsorship.
Today an article in City AM “Even in 2010, some gay lawyers say coming out can damage your career” by Jon Robins included an interview with Andrea Woelke, LAGLA Chairman, of Alternative Family Law.
