The Writ

Our very own digital magazine

The Writ is the in-house magazine of the Law Society of Northern Ireland.

Careers in Any Direction: In our Spring 2026 issue we speak to solicitors from a broad range of roles about their chosen sector, their paths to getting there, and how they find balance in the busyness. 

This 250th issue of The Writ along with previous editions can all be read free online.

The Law Society of Northern Ireland is committed to championing diversity, inclusion and social mobility in the legal profession. 

David A. Lavery CB
Chief Executive, The Law Society of Northern Ireland
