- Could you be an MLS Ambassador?
- MLS Court Report Journal Issue 6 - The Big Give with Law Care
- 100 Years of Women in Law - Dates for the Diary - November Messenger
We are launching an opportunity to become an MLS Ambassador at your firm. Corporate member firms will be contacted over the next month to nominate their MLS Ambassador who will act as a key point of contact between the firm and the Society.
We hope that our Ambassadors will directly experience and showcase the benefits of membership, promote the work of the Society, and encourage their colleagues to get involved. The Ambassadors will also benefit from increased contact with the Manchester Legal community and a better understanding of the opportunities that exist for your firm as a result of being a member of MLS.

Join us to discuss the different journeys of women in law – from different backgrounds and generations, how they have got to where they are and hopes for the future of the profession as they take part in a panel chaired by our very own Fran Eccles-Bech.
This event will be a celebration of the work and achievements of women in law, who inspired them, a look at the challenges faced and how far we have come in 100 years and to highlight what still needs to be done.
