As I write this a vaccine has just been approved for the dreaded disease and the whole country is looking forward to letting go (with appropriate social distancing in place no doubt) a bit at Christmas but more than that there is hope of a return to some sort of normality in 2021. As Debenhams and Arcadia have both given up the ghost in the last 24 hours who knows what that “normal” will look like.
I am still trying to increase DDLS presence on social media – I am concentrating on the LinkedIn page – please use this link to connect to the page – https://www.linkedin.com/company/derby-and-district-law-society
Thank you to Stuart Barlow for a hugely successful and well attended webinar at the beginning of November. We will plan another session in Spring and as ever I will e-mail out with details. Check the website for details of other courses you may find useful from our gold patrons DG Legal and the Law Society. We will be looking into Barristers Chambers running some webinars for us and if you have any contacts or course requests please contact me.
Next year DDLS is 135 years old. Please let me have any anecdotes from yesteryear. I hope to be able to put an article in each edition next year but I do need your help please. I am not sure that my memories of fights and sitting under the table giggling at the annual dinner (not the same dinner I must add) are printable!
I am pleased to say that more Derby City schools than ever have entered teams into the debate competition. The final should take place on Wednesday 24th March 2021 4-6pm – hopefully at the University of Derby Law School. Anyone wanting to be involved as a Judge or just attend the Final please let me know.
Have a Happy and Healthy Christmas and I hope to see you in person in the New Year. Take care
