Please type a short essay on why you feel you would make a qualified member of the Royal Bar:

I believe I am a qualified candidate becuase I have experience working in the law field, in my jurisdiction being a firefighter is also being a fire marshal and I believe I hold a few that the Association, and Nation could benefit from.

Type a Short Essay on the importance of law in a civilised society:

Law in a civilized society is essential because it si the law that governs the standard of life. It is aslo the law that helps keep any governing body flowing anf working steadily. Without a firm system of law, anyone could go won-ton, galavanting around doing as they please. And even in this hi-tech age we still have nations whose entire lives are based on total and utter chaos. This is why law is inportant in a civilized society.

does anyone wish to speak for or against this application?

All in favour of the membership of David Watts say Aye, all opposed Nay.

AYE

AYE

Umm... who are you, and why are you voting in the Bar? Perhaps you wish to apply for membership?

I am a tourist as my tag says. I voted in the bar simply because I wanted to!

Yes, I can see that. But only Barristers are entitled to vote on this issue.

Oh this is fun and confusing!

Don't worry, I know who are members and who are not, and so I know who may vote, so not a biggy. Hi Craig, welcome to Hanover and the Bar association. Outside of this forum we would be pleased to discuss legal matters with you.
