Welcome to the website of the Ulster Medico-Legal Association
About Us
The UMLA was founded in 2023. Its aim is to promote Medico-Legal knowledge in all its aspects. Its members are lawyers and medical professionals in roughly equal numbers, providing excellent networking opportunities.
The Association normally holds five meetings per year at Malone Medical Chambers each year. At each meeting, a well-qualified speaker presents a paper followed by a discussion which continues over drinks and canapés. You may also attend via Microsoft Teams.
