Along with other solicitors in Ireland, John M. Joy was honoured by the Law Society of Ireland, for his long service of over 40 years to the legal profession. He was honoured for his outstanding service and commitment to the legal profession, to the State, and to his community.
Law Society President Maura Derivan told the gathering that lawyers were intrepid people who had coped with and navigated an accelerating pace of change in their profession.
The law was now very inclusive, more so than when the long-standing practitioners entered the profession, she noted. Their insights, knowledge and experience were of huge benefit to the legal profession and Irish legal history, she added.
John’s long service was acknowledged with the presentation of a specially commissioned bronze plaque.
