The Medico-Legal Society has provided education and information on matters medico-legal for the more than a century. Speakers at Society meetings are of a consistently high standard and are invited with the aim of providing a range of topics covering civil and criminal law and all related aspects of forensic medicine. A convivial atmosphere at meetings provides an excellent forum for discussion between the professions. The Society's journal, the Medico-Legal Journal, provides articles based on these – and additional articles of interest. |
Members can attend all meetings – which qualify for continuing education credits under key professional bodies' schemes – for just £50 per annum. This price also includes the Medico-Legal Journal in paper and electronic form.
Members can thus attend a unique series of lectures, collecting continuing education credits that would be hugely expensive by other means and receive the journal - for an annual fee less than the price of the journal alone!
Membership of the Society is open to qualified members of the medical and legal professions and to other persons who are interested in medico-legal work, such as forensic scientists and police officers. Election to membership is at the discretion of the Council of the Society.
The annual subscription of the Society is currently £50 for a calendar year (regardless of start date) which must be paid by a UK clearing bank standing order mandate. Alternative methods of payment (e.g. for those living abroad and who do not have a UK bank account) may be accepted by the Council of the Society provided there is no financial detriment to the Society.
Applicants for membership should be proposed and seconded in writing by two members of the Society. Please complete the standing order mandate (to be completed and signed in hard copy only) and nomination form and return them to:

Applicants who do not know two members of the Society are invited to return the two forms enclosed with a full curriculum vitae and a brief description of their professional work for consideration by the Council of the Society.
Nomination form and curriculum vitae may be submitted by email, but standing order mandates should not be emailed for security reasons.
Your application will be forwarded to the Honorary Legal Secretary of the Society who will arrange for it to be considered by the Council. We will contact you again after that. If you have any query, please do not hesitate to contact us by email or telephone us on +44 (0) 8701 225525.
For ease of administration for the Society and for members, annual subscriptions will be levied until otherwise countermanded.
