Society election manifesto 2011
The Law Society of Scotland has launched a manifesto ahead of
the May 2011 elections, to engage with Scotland's political parties
in advance of the publication of their own manifestoes. To prompt
and participate in the wider public debate on issues it believes
should be addressed by the next Scottish Parliament.
This is only the second time the Society has produced such a
document - the first being before the Scottish Parliament elections
in 1999. To prepare the manifesto, the Society has drawn on the
knowledge and experiences of its members and those outside
of the legal profession including businesses, universities,
public bodies, enterprises and charities through a series of
discussion evenings.
The manifesto is however more than a collation of the views and
proposals put forward at these events. Rather, it represents a
focused statement of what the Society sees as some of the key
priorities for the Scottish Parliament post election.

manifesto, please get in touch by email to: manifesto@lawscot.org.uk
