September 2026 Liverpool Law THE MAGAZINE FOR THE LEGAL SECTOR IN MERSEYSIDE AND THE NORTH WEST The Annual MJLD Ball Page 16 Celebrating 12 months of activity, collaboration and community support for Merseyside’s junior lawyers. [www.liverpoollawsociety.org.uk](www.liverpoollawsociety.org.uk) DEADLINES October 2026 edition: Tuesday, 22.09.26 November 2026 edition: Friday, 23.10.26 December 2026 edition: Friday, 20.11.26 Word Count Guidelines: Notes for Contributors We receive many enquiries about submitting articles for LLS News and one of the questions that comes up every time is ‘how long should it be?’ While we don’t (in theory) restrict the number of pages you can write, there are a few guidelines that you need to follow, like how many words fit on a page, how photographs, affect the word count etc. With this in mind, the following is a rough approximation of how we calculate word counts for articles: A full page of text is around 750 words without images, and 400 for a half page. The amount of text space an image takes up depends entirely on how it relates to the text (e.g. a by-line photo will take up less room than something illustrating the main theme of the article) . So, we would suggest the following: Full page with one small* image: 690 words Full page with two small* images or one medium** image: 480 words Full page with one large*** image: 480 words Half page with one small image: 330 words The word counts do not include the main heading or secondary headings, but do include sub-headings. * Spanning a single column ** Spanning two columns *** Spanning three columns Join us on Linked In: LiverpoolLawEMag [www.liverpoollawsociety.org.uk](www.liverpoollawsociety.org.uk) 3 Editor’s Introduction Liverpool Law Society Magazine is produced by and for Liverpool Law Society Members.

The dinner is held on 12 November when the winners will be announced and there’s still time to buy your tickets. It is always a lovely evening bringing our legal community together to celebrate. The MJLD have also had their awards ball and feature on our front page this month, which again is always a lovely event to see the next generation coming through. Congratulations to their winners, including my own firm and colleagues. I’ve mentioned many times how important it is to give young people opportunities and encouragement and I was very fortunate to have had that. We have a great article from JR Levins which sums it up lovely so please do give that a read. At the other end of the career I mentioned last month the retirement of our lovely Ann Murphy and Liz Weeks here at Liverpool Law Society. Ann joined Liverpool Law Society in October 1988 and Liz
