Reconstruction in the Legal Profession: Fusion of the Two Branches and Women’s Admission. The fusion of the two branches of the legal profession and the admission of women were two of the subjects referred to the annual meeting of the Birmingham Law Society yesterday … (discussion) … Mr. L. Gocher moved a resolution to the effect that, having regard to the number of Birmingham solicitors members of the Birmingham Law Society, who had not had an opportunity of voting in the ballot recently taken by the Law Society upon the fusion of the two branches of the profession, a special meeting be convened to take a vote on the question … … Mr. R. A. Pinsent opposed the motion, saying that the matter had been thrashed out ad nauseam in the press, and said that the conclusion to be declared by the Law Society’s ballot would be a fair one for the profession at large. Mr. Coley suggested Mr. Gocher should withdraw his motion – a suggestion which was adopted.
