Register of locums

The Society maintains a register of solicitors willing to act as locums. In recent years this has become out of date as solicitors on the register did not remove their name when they obtained other work, or the Society was not informed of other solicitors now able to act as locums. The Society believes it would be helpful to the profession to update the register and would be grateful if any solicitor currently willing and able to act as a locum would provide their details to Denise Robertson, Record Department, The Law Society of Scotland, 26 Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh EH3 7YR (t: 0131 476 8179; e: deniserobertson@lawscot.org.uk).

The register can be found at www.lawscot.org.uk/Members_Information/rules_and_guidance/guides/Rules/locumregister/locumregister.aspx .
