The Law Society of Northern
Ireland welcomes the announcement that The Honourable Mrs Justice Keegan is to
be the first female Chief Justice of Northern Ireland and warmly congratulates
her on her appointment.
The President of the Society,
Mr Rowan White, said
“The Law Society is delighted that Mrs
Justice Keegan is to become the first female Chief Justice of Northern
