If you are a solicitor or advocate with an interest in these issues, able to give your time and with some ideas to drive change in the sector as part of the SEMLA team, then SEMLA wants to hear from you.

It is looking for two people to join the committee: one who is 3-7 years’ PQE (whether such experience is accrued in the solicitor profession or at the bar) and one 8+ years PQE.

If you wish to apply for a committee position, please send your CV together with a cover letter of no more than 300 words explaining: (1) why you want to join the committee and (2) what you can offer to SEMLA to usman.tariq@advocates.org.uk.

The subject-line of the e-mail should be “SEMLA Committee Application”. The closing date for applications is Friday 9th February at 5pm.
