Firstly I want to offer a huge thanks to those who have contributed to this edition of the magazine in these extraordinary times. Our second Covid-19 issue has been a real challenge and several of our writers have contracted Covid-19 themselves. I am very grateful for the hard work of everyone in bringing this magazine together. I think we have some fascinating, personal and thought provoking articles, which I hope you will enjoy reading.
In this edition, we welcome our new President, albeit a very familiar face, in the returning Christl Hughes MBE, who becomes President for the second time. Whilst we sadly say good bye to Lucy Miller, Christl will be ably supported by Kauser Patel, our long term LLS Manager, who had been away on maternity leave.
Diversity and inclusions are central themes of Christl Hughes MBE’s Presidential Year, as set out in the President’s Report. We have articles in this edition dealing with disability, ethnicity, opportunity and leadership, raising interesting questions for the legal profession in the 21st century.
Whilst our social calendar has not been as packed as in previous years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there has still been lots to shout about for the LLS. We have had quizzes, training events and we have some fantastic events coming up later in 2021, including our long award Annual Awards Night. You can read about the latest news and developments in the Leicestershire legal landscape in our membership pages.
As always, I am keen to hear from our readership with articles they want to write, ideas for future features and any suggestions for making the magazine even better. I look forward to hearing from you.
