Law Society Crisis Over CEO's Cousin | Ireland News

The Law Society council faces mounting pressure as they prepare to meet this Wednesday over the controversial leadership of David Lavery, who recently lost his post at the Human Rights Commission and stepped down from a police surveillance review panel after it emerged he wrote a character reference for his convicted cousin — a former teacher sentenced for multiple sexual offenses in the 1970s. Victims and legal professionals are demanding his resignation, while members push for a special meeting and vote of no confidence, though it remains uncertain if enough signatures have been gathered to force the vote. The council’s upcoming session will be pivotal in determining whether Lavery’s future in the organization is secure or if the legal community will finally act on its growing unease.
