The Devon & Somerset Law Society (DASLS) has announced a programme of events to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta.
DASLS is acknowledged in the legal profession as one of the most active and innovative UK law societies and, in association with Exeter University and Exeter City Council, it is amongst the first to arrange events to commemorate a pivotal moment in British history.
The Magna Carta (Great Charter) was signed on June 15 1215 at Runnymede in Surrey acknowledging certain fundamental rights and freedoms.

The service was conducted by the School Chaplain, Mr John Allan.

There is much rhetoric flung about these days by supporters and denigrators of William Shakespeare. Did he write the plays and poems that bear his name – or were they the work of another Renaissance genius, such as Marlowe or Bacon? Or was it the Earl of Oxford? Or a whole committee of intellectuals?
Such is the range of possible authorships put forward that members of the public can be forgiven for being bewildered. Why is there so much doubt when the first folio of Shakespeare’s works clearly has his name on the cover?
Exeter Cathedral has published listings of this year's services for 'Holy Week'.
The programme begins on Palm Sunday (29th March) with a dramatic procession of palms from St Pancras Church in the Guildhall Shopping Centre (9.45am).
Much of the worship will be led by the Cathedral Choir, who also give a devotional performance of John Stainer's Crucifixion on Good Friday (3rd April) at 19.30
