The Meeting Space at Law Society House officially opened The Meeting Space at Law Society House has been officially opened by The Lady Chief Justice the Right Honourable Dame Siobhan Keegan and the Justice Minister, Naomi Long MLA. Speaking at the opening the Justice Minister said: “I welcome the opening of these state of the art facilities and the additional capacity the space will provide for mediations which, in appropriate cases, can enhance access to justice and improve outcomes. I have prioritised action on Alternative Dispute Resolution in plans being taken forward for the modernisation of the civil justice system, with the aim of making the system more accessible as well as fairer, more proportionate and more responsive. I recognise enhancing the use of ADR can go a long way to achieving those objectives and I am delighted to see the continued steps being taken by the Law Society to further support its use.”
