President comments on passing of John Leckey
“It was with great sadness that the Law Society of
Northern Ireland learned of the passing of John Leckey.
John Leckey will be
remembered for his commitment to public service in his role of Coroner for
Northern Ireland.
John was admitted as a Solicitor in Northern
Ireland in 1974 and spent the greater part of his career in private practice in
the firm of John McKee & Son.
John was appointed to the office of Coroner in 1988
and became Northern Ireland’s Senior Coroner until his retirement in 2015.
The Law Society of Northern Ireland extend our
sincere condolences to John’s wife Janet and her family”.
Rowan White
President
