Notes for Editors<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Bar Association has three elected officials: the President, the Vice-President and the Deputy Vice-President, each holding office for one year. Each year, the Council elects the Deputy Vice-President; the Deputy Vice-President of the previous year becomes Vice-President and the Vice-President becomes President.<\/span><\/p>\n

The transfer takes place at the annual general meeting, which has now been moved to October.<\/span><\/p>\n

The incumbents of the positions are the main ambassadors of the Law Society and represent the organization in the country and abroad. The position of president is a full-time appointment and the president is president of the Council.<\/span><\/p>\n
