The latter group of people are a type of functionary unknown to our system. Each Judge and Advocate General has a legal secretary who is a young qualified Lawyer. He does much of the research work connected with cases being heard and some initial drafting of Judge- ments. One remarkable feature of our visit was the obvious and deliberate Public Relations policy of the Court. It has a high level official as an information officer. He and his assistants work full time towards promot- ing awareness of the Court and its activities in the Member States. They do this by organising visits such as ours, travelling to give lectures and by providing a good written information service free in some respects and otherwise at relatively low cost. They view with great pride the increasing number of cases being re- ferred to the Court. The serious part of the programme ended in Luxem- bourg. We flew to Paris on Friday afternoon for the week-end. A failure by the Hotel Commodore to honour all our bookings slightly marred the first even- ing. However, the tolerance of the group overcame the problem. Professional loyalty prevents an account of the events of the week-end. Suffice to say it would appear that the pleasures of Paris were sampled in their many and differing forms. ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS The Committee of the Society of Young Solicitors has considered the question of membership of the Society and has decided that in the future annual subscriptions will b? incorporated in the registration fee payable at seminars. Consequently, all persons at present paying subscriptions by Bankers Order or otherwise are asked to arrange for these to be can- celled. It should be noted that all persons who are members of the Incorporated Law Society will receive all circulars issued by the Society.
