Provincial Associations’ meetings

Dear Legal Practitioner,

The Law Society of South Africa (LSSA) is coordinating meetings of the various Provincial Associations.

The objective is to ensure that practical activities for the benefit of practitioners are effective and address the concerns and challenges facing practitioners within the region. In addition the meeting is to advise on assistance required and report on activities that address practitioners’ challenges at a local level (issues on the ground). The aforegoing is to benefit local practitioners. All practitioners in the province are invited to the meeting, to be informed on the progress and activities of the Association, which is in the interest of all practitioners in the Province, wherever they are based.

Members of the LSSA House of Constituents (HoC)/Council from the Provinces will avail themselves to attend the meeting.

The LSSA executive director will attend these meetings to talk to and listen to members and the Association and offer assistance and guidance where needed.

Many towns still have their local associations active, and Provinces must include these members in their communications and engagements.

All meetings will be held at 4 PM.

The meeting will be hybrid (physical and virtual via ZOOM) to encourage participation.

Venue details will be circulated where these are not yet confirmed:

31 January 2023 – Free State, Bloemfontein  – Bloemfontein Sun

The LSSA has agreed that where there are Task Team meetings (Association not yet established), practitioners within the Province are invited to participate in meetings, physically where possible or via the ZOOM option.

All meetings are hosted by the Provincial Executive or Task Team members (where applicable).

Kindly extend this invitation to fellow practitioners or colleagues.

PRACTITIONERS ARE URGED TO JOIN THEIR PROVINCIAL ASSOCIATION.

ISSUED ON BEHALF OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE LAW SOCIETY OF SOUTH AFRICA, ANTHONY PILLAY
