Don’t Miss the Benchers’ Digest Summer Issue

May 19, 2016

By Kelly Laycock

The Summer 2016 issue of the Benchers’ Digest is now available! The editorial team at the Law Society Library has been working hard since January to fill the pages of the Summer issue with content that our members will be interested in. With the redesign we rolled out in the Spring 2016 issue, we have more room for thought-provoking pieces by our Benchers and other members who have something they want to share, all in an eye-catching new format.

Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check it out, but if not, here are a few highlights from the Summer 2016 issue to whet your appetite:
