The Writ

Our very own digital magazine

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

The Regional Issue: Our Summer 2026 issue spotlights the strength and diversity of the legal profession across Northern Ireland, with a particular focus on practice beyond Belfast. 

This issue of The Writ, along with previous editions, can be read online for free.

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