eCompendium

The updated eCompendium to the Solicitors Acts is now available for staff to download and includes the Legal Services Regulation Act.

2020 edition

The latest edition brings together, for the first time, all of the Solicitors Acts and the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015.

This is a unique innovative resource, which aims to assist you by locating in one single document all legislation governing the solicitors’ profession.  More importantly, legislation which has been amended or substituted is identified in a red cross-reference in the left margin of the document. Each red cross-reference contains a link which will instantly re-direct to the page where the subsequent amending provision can be found. Another feature of the eCompendium is the ability to view legislation which would have been applicable at a different point in time which can be especially helpful. 

The eCompendium and user-supports are available by visiting www.lawsociety.ie/ecompendium  

Guide to using the eCompendium

Before you start using the eCompendium, we recommend:

  1. Watching the short instructional video below (4 minutes)
  2. Reading the Quick Reference Guide

Significantly, this edition of the eCompendium will not be produced in print for environmental reasons and because of the ever-increasing use of technology by solicitors.
