Paul Rogerson, famed for many a good legal story in the Herald newspaper, is now off to be editor in Chief of the Law Society Gazette.
We wish him well. All the best Paul !
Paul, who will be remembered by many for the "Would Granny Swear by the Law Society" story, which exposed Chief Executive Douglas Mill as a bare faced liar (again) in front of the Justice 2 Committee hearings into the LPLA Bill in June 2006, did a fine job at the Herald on legal issues, giving a balanced view particularly on regulatory matters, which some other newspapers are less than happy to tackle.
