SEPTEMBER 1992
Law Directory 1993 - Final Reminder
employment outside Dublin or the
larger commercial centres cannot be
over-emphasised. The same logic
applies to a rural or city-based
practitioner contemplating a
phased expansion of his or her
enterprise with the possible
corollary of additional staffing
requirements initially at a modest
level.
An apprentice retained by an
expanding practice after the expiry
of his or her indentures can be of
greater intrinsic value to such an
office than an assistant newly-
recruited without prior knowledge or
experience of their abilities.
Furthermore, not infrequently,
students on the Pre-Apprenticeship
Register who are recruited by
practitioners find that they can ease
the worry of offices by securing
admission to the next available
course, provided they will have spent
three months in the office before the
course starts. As of mid-August
1992, the next Professional Course
on which places are available will be
starting on 8 June, 1993 and ending
in October, 1993.
This service is without charge and is
absolutely confidential. It is entirely
a matter for any solicitor contacting
the Law School whether he or
she wishes to recruit or even to
interview a prospective apprentice
whose details have been furnished.
The Society strongly encourages
practitioners to consider taking on
an apprentice, and, furthermore, to
consider the use of the Society's
Pre- Apprenticeship Register.

Members of the profession who have
not updated their entries in the Law
Directory on the form distributed by
the Society last July are asked to do
so
immediately,
as work is now
commencing on the compilation of
the 1993 Law Directory. (If the
information displayed on the form
sent to you was correct, there is no
need to return it to the Society.) The
Society has no other method of
verifying whether the information
held on its database about each
individual solicitor and each practice
is correct.
It is particularly important this year
to check in regard to telephone
numbers. In various parts of the
country new dialling codes or
additional digits have been
introduced. Therefore, please ensure
that the correct telephone numbers
for your office have been notified to
the Society. Likewise, an increasing
number of firms and practitioners
are acquiring fax machines and
dispensing with telex machines.
The information in the Directory can
only be as accurate as that supplied
to the Society by each practitioner
and each firm.
Commissioner for Oaths
Updating the section on
Commissioners for Oaths is
particularly difficult. The
information is printed on a street by
street basis in Dublin and on a
county basis for the rest of the
country. It would be appreciated if
practitioners would kindly check all
the entries listed for their particular
street/county and notify the Society
of any changes of which they are
aware. For example, a former
neighbour may have moved premises,
ceased to practise, or sadly, passed
away.
Please send all information, in
writing, to
Barbara Cahalane,
Public Relations Executive,
Law Society, Blackhall Place,
Dublin 7.
Please note that it will not be
possible to include information
received after September 30, 1992 in
the 1993 Directory.
