In Scotland, which had a system based more on Roman law, Margaret Hall in 1900 "applied to the Society of Law Agents for permission to enter for the Solicitors' Preliminary Examination" and won some support; but the courts decided she was not a "person" as intended by the Solicitors' Act.
The Scottish Law Agents Society (SLAS) aims to start the ball rolling by calling for a meeting of all interested parties to coincide with its own AGM on Thursday, 20 June 2019 from 5:30pm at the Royal Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow.
