Law Update: Paid office
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The three top office holders on the Law Society's council are to be paid for the first time. The exact amounts have yet to be decided but the president - or rather, his firm - is to receive broadly the salary of a High Court judge, around pounds 90,000. The vice- president's firm will receive half this amount, the deputy vice-president's a quarter. The council voted for the move amid calls for all council members or their firms to receive compensation.
