Lord Bonomy - A Life in the Law
Thu, Jan 7th 2016 at 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Lord Bonomy entertained the members with anecdotes of his career from the beginnings in a firm in Motherwell, through sitting on the Bench, to being one of the judges presiding over the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
The club's first meeting of the new year had Lord Bonomy speaking about "A Life in the Law". Iain Bonomy was born in Motherwell and attended Dalziel High School before he went to study law at Glasgow University. He served his apprenticeship as a solicitor with East Kilbride Town Council before moving to Ballantyne and Copland in Motherwell where he became a partner. He was admitted to the Faculty of Advocates and he took silk in 1984. He served as an Advocate Depute from 1990 - 1996 and in 1997 he became a Senator of the College of Justice which saw the start of his Judicial Career. During his witty and informative talk Iain spoke about some of the cases he had been involved with both as a solicitor and a judge which proved to be very entertaining as well as enlightening. He then responded to a large number of questions put to him.
