A note on the law society in Ireland

All of us will have to take up the services of a solicitor at some point in our lives. It might be to fight against the charges pressed on you or you might need it for your business. You cannot fight cases on your own. You will definitely need a lawyer to represent you in court. A good lawyer can help you win even the most difficult cases. The lawyers in a location are only as good as their law society. They are also known as bar associations or bar societies in a few countries. The law societies must be accredited.

A law society is essentially an association of solicitors. It is a regulatory body in charge of looking over the qualifications, training and behavior of solicitors. In some countries the law society is supervised by the Government whereas in most countries it is more of a private organization. Theses societies don't have any control over the fees charged by the solicitors. In addition to these services these societies also organize meets for the solicitors to share news, information and to discuss about their cases.

The law society of Ireland is the main regulatory body for solicitors in Ireland. All the solicitors in Ireland must be registered with the society. Only registered solicitors are allowed to practice law in any country. It is a huge society with over twelve thousand registered solicitors. The society maintains a list of all the registered members and helps in finding the right solicitor for you.
