The Law Society is on a journey.
A major shake up at the Law Society will see dozens of roles cut, though there is the possibility a similar number will be created.
The Law Society has commenced a redundancy consultation which is set to cull 45 jobs, RollOnFriday understands, including the entire web team.
”For the past three years the Law Society has been on a journey of change and transformation”, said a Law Society of England and Wales spokesperson.
The journey was required “so we can respond more effectively to what our members tell us about the kinds of support they need”, he said.
Intrepid staff have now reached the part of the adventure which will require some of them to hand in their boots. “We are currently conducting a consultation about how we deliver a number of functions within the Law Society”, confirmed the spokesperson.
The Law Society is understood to be proposing 47 new roles which may mitigate the redundancies.
With impeccable timing, this week new Law Soc Prez David Greene reflected on the value of pro bono work in an interview with the Law Society Gazette, noting that he sought to “apply the skills learnt and used in the profession to the benefit of others outside the day job”. It means staff can at least embark on the final stretch of their Law Society journey knowing that a friendly face will be waiting on the other side to advise them on debts, landlords and redundancy pay.

They try to govern that which cannot be governed - our sovereign rights over our own SELVES under God's given COMMON LAW and The Magna Carter.

There is a video on instagram with a gym owner going on about common law and being a "woman" so the statutory law doesn't apply to her. What is she trying to say? It sounded like an absolute load of waffle.

If you declare yourself to be a live person and under The Common Law then by the natural rights of man asserted in The Magna Carter Clause 17 you have the right to urinate in the helmet of an offending man-at-arms.
The copper was lucky she didn't know her stuff.

No. It's The Magna Carter.
Every country has one.
In Japan it's the Manga Carter. In the USA it's the MAGA Carter.
Carters were more important than Chamberlain (who only wiped kings bums) in the olden days.
It's also worth noting there's definitely no articles in the original latin, just clauses. That's The Magna Carter for you. The great tract of freedom for millions of common men, like in Robin Hood.
Or are you going to argue with Russell Crowe. You don't want to get there mate. He'll have you.

It's amazing how all over the world different countries have different versions of the same document.
The Japanese have the Manga Carter. The Americans have the MAGA Carter. The French have Le Grand Charretier. It just goes on and on.

Whoever redesigned their website should be fired, made redundant, or not paid. Its now absolutely god awful.

@Fire the lot: Still not as bad as HMRC, with their oversized fonts, masses of unused space and absurdly large navigation options at the bottom of the page.
I get the impression whoever designed the HMRC pages was either using Netscape 2.0 or, more likely, Notepad, and has yet to get to grips with Style Sheets.

@Fire the lot. Did anyone design the site? I think it may be a postmodernist spoof.
