Welcome

Launched in January 2008 for junior lawyers across England and Wales, the JLD is a division of the Law Society with an independent voice. This division represents all student members of the Law Society enrolled through the SRA, trainees, and solicitors with up to five years' active PQE.

The JLD is all about its community and their needs. To enable us to better represent you, we want to hear from you. E-mail us at juniorlawyers@lawsociety.org.uk
