I spoke with Maya on her new YouTube Channel, Law Break, on August 16 about my motion for disclosure of the cost of the CEOSS (pronounced “chaos”) to be introduced at the Law Society’s AGM on September 18 2025.
You can watch the episode here if you’re interested in this issue – it will be available on Aug 18 at 1 pm.
I recently posted the details of how you can participate in the AGM this year and also the coverage of the motion and related issues in Legal Media here:
Previously I had blogged about considering this motion as early as My 5 of this year – by then I had mulled over some options for what I’d like to see disclosed by Convocation. Here is that blog entry
