Profession and qualifications for Membership: advanced student of law; assistant in a law firm
Please type a short essay on why you feel you would make a qualified member of the Royal Bar:
As a student of law and assistant in a law firm in the "real" Hanover, I am quite experienced in legal affairs. Other than most other citizens of Hanover, I do not live under the anglo-american legal system, but under the European, which is based much more on written law than on case law. This perspective would surely be a benefit for the Hanoverian legal system.
Type a Short Essay on the importance of law in a civilised society:
The rule of law is essential for the existance of modern societies. Decisions by any power of the state must be reliable and forseeable. Only the rule of law and the laws made under this principle guarantee that people respect the state as a common and public power and so respect its decisions.

Type a short essay on the importance of a Civilized Society:
I do feel that a Civilized Society is of the utmost importance; we must have laws in place, no matter where the origin of the Nation.
Laws relating to the security, freedoms of the Nation, guidance of the Governing Bodies of the particular Nation - these are all absolutely essential in making sure that Citizens of the Nation are able to live in peace and harmony.
We must be assured that each one of us is able to live, work, and just generally go about our business, knowing that the laws of whatever Land we live in will guide us and give us the freedom to do so.
Each one of us has unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; I know that is an oft-used phrase, but it is very appropos - extremely important in everyone's daily life.
Every life is important, irrespective of race, creed, or color, and this should be respected; that is why a Civilized Society is most important - to respect these rights, freedoms, and privileges. We all need to know that we are free to practice our religious beliefs in the manner we choose, to work where we choose, raise our families where, and in the manner we choose, and to respect our neighbours and fellow-Citizens.
Thank you,
Rosalie D. Sluss

Please type a short essay on why you feel you would make a qualified member of the Royal Bar:
I have long had a profound interest in law, and I nearly pursued a degree in it, but I feel that my contributions come from a different quarter. My dual professions give me not only excellent research skills, but also a strong grounding in logic, both important aspects of the law profession in my opinion. More importantly, my study of the Classics revolved around the orations of Cicero, undoubtedly the greatest lawyer of Republican Rome; I also extensively studied the Corpus Iuris Civilis, the quintessential codification of Roman law. Finally, I have long taken a philosophical interest in law and politics, and in fact I'm currently working my way through Montesquieu's 'The Spirit of Laws'.
Type a Short Essay on the importance of law in a civilised society:
The rule of law, and its consitent interpretation, is one of the pillars of modern society; throughout history, all free societies have relied upon it to maintain liberty and promote equality. In addition to ensuring one's basic rights, the law inhibits those who would establish an autocratic regime by limiting not only the actions of the citizenry, but also those of the government. Without equality under the law, we would still be a fuedal society.

Type a Short Essay on the importance of law in a civilised society: The law is a double-edged sword. The law empowers the government to ensure order while also ensuring the individual citizen rights to be upheld by the government. The law sets a standard of conduct for all citizens, persons subject to the law, and the government. Without the law, the government could not be held to upholding the citizen's rights.

I graduated in law from Leeds in 1976 and served my articles with a firm of solicitors in Hull 1976-79. After a 23 year break I returned to the law and since 2002 I have been acting as a legal consultant to a firm of Turkish lawyers in Istanbul. I have therefore both theoretical and practical knowlege of the Anglo-Saxon system of law and European Civil law (Turkish law).
Type a Short Essay on the importance of law in a civilised society:
Law not only provides a system of rules for a community to live by. It balances the rights and responsibilities of the individual against those of the group. It is a form of contract between each individual and society. It is essential that the correct balance in that relationship be maintained at all times. Law should be an instrument for the protection of individual rights and not the increase in state authority.
Law is more than a system of rules. If these rules are not rooted in some notion of natural justice or equity then they will at some stage cease to have efficacy as a system of law. Law is one tenth a matter of statutory regulation and nine tenths a matter of natural justice.
