Phase 2 of the Demographic Data Collection Project launched

The Law Society has launched Phase 2 of its Demographic Data Project and is inviting feedback on a draft demographic data questionnaire. Phase 2 follows Phase 1, during which input was gathered from legal professionals, benchers and Law Society senior leadership through seven focus groups conducted both online and in person. Participants reviewed sample questions for each demographic characteristic and provided feedback, which was used to construct and refine the draft questionnaire. 

The web consultation is now open to the broader community of legal professionals and the public. Participation is voluntary, and responses will be accepted until October 8, 2025. While the survey is currently intended for practising lawyers, all are welcome to participate. Feedback can address any aspect of the draft questionnaire, including clarity of instructions, wording of questions, response options, order of options or explanations provided.
