We are pleased and proud to present to the Society the latest cohort of trainee solicitors who have undertaken the Society’s Professional Competence Course delivered in Glasgow at the Royal Faculty of Procurators and at the Sheriff Court. Our latest colleagues have undertaken the Professional Competence Course just as that programme is about to pass into history, to be replaced by the PEAT2 programme. However, these trainee solicitors and any others who undertake the PCC during 2012 need have no fear that they are losing out by missing the changeover. The PEAT2 has been in sight for about the last two years and, during that time, our delivery of the PCC has been modified in the direction of PEAT2 so that the final transition is likely to be virtually seamless.

The present group, it has to be said, received the highest accolades from the trainers and also from the shrieval bench for their presentations at court and we have no doubt that the profession is passing into excellent hands. The trainee solicitors from left to right/top to bottom are as follows:- Donna Elsby, Yumann Chung, Edel McGinty, Rhona McLean, Ricky Hope, Elizabeth Rose, Lesley Fairfield, Marc Convery, Shazia Rashid, Stephen Barr, Danielle Hughes, Sally Orr, Catherine Morrow, June Paterson, Mark O'Neil, Scott Forbes, Amanda Richardson, Scott Ford, John Munro, Stewart Duncan and Laurie Houston.
