Welcome to Deaf Blawg. The aim of this blawg is to provide a forum whereby Deaf lawyers, primarily those who reside in the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales), can muse on and discuss issues of a legal nature.
Many of you will have noticed that the www is dominated by Americanised groups of Deaf lawyers, and while we appreciate their feedback and support, we felt it was time that Deaf lawyers in the UK had a place where they should air their views and be confident that they will be considered from a British point of view.
As the numbers of Deaf lawyers in the UK are so small, we are proposing to allow some international Deaf lawyers to post to this blawg. However, this may be reviewed in the future when we have established the policies of Deaf Lawyers UK and determined how these international Deaf lawyers will be allowed to retain their membership. For now, these will be called “associate members”.
If you are Deaf and want to be a lawyer or be otherwise involved in the legal profession, please drop me a bell at rob at exhibitq dot com and I’ll be happy to give you information about joining Deaf Lawyers UK, the egroup and be allowed to post on this blawg.
