LEADER BULLETIN 13th August 2021
Dear Fellow Circuiteer,
This has been a sad week for the North Eastern Circuit with the death of two well-loved members Matthew Collins and Lorna Cole. You will all have read the heartfelt tribute paid to Matthew that was circulated earlier in the week, and it is right that I now say a little more about Lorna.

As we’ve said before, there are many things to be proud about when it comes to being a member of the North Eastern Circuit. The latest thing to be exceptionally proud of is the effort to ensure, as a Circuit, we welcome everyone to the Bar.
