Law Society Council 1992 - 1993
The newly elected Council of the
Society for 1992 - 1993 held its first
meeting on 13 November last. The
members of the Council elected
Raymond
T. Monahan
as President,
Michael V. O'Mahony
as Senior Vice
President and
Laurence K. Shields
as
Junior Vice President.
The newly elected President,
Ray
Monahan,
paid a warm tribute to his
predecessor and said that
Adrian
Bourke
had led the profession
throughout his year in office with
great distinction, panache, energy,
elegance and charm. No one could
have done more for the Society or
done better. The newly elected
President went on to outline his
priorities for the coming year,
among them: continuing to pursue
the Society's objectives concerning
the Solicitors Bill, a review of the
workings and operation of the
Compensation Fund, a review of the
issue of both standards and numbers
in the education system, a campaign
to highlight the whole under-
resourcing and neglect of the
administration of justice in this
country and many other issues.
Charter for Civil Legal Aid
The Council decided to lend its
support to the Charter for Civil
Legal Aid which was recently
published by the Legal Aid Alliance.
Education
The Council approved three statutory
instruments. The first dealt with
increases in apprentices' fees.
Members of the Council requested
that all students in the Law School
should be fully informed immediately
of the increases and the rationale
behind them. The second statutory
instrument dealt with certain
technical amendments concerning the
apprenticeship and education
regulations and the third amended
these regulations to increase the
number of subjects to be examined in
the Final Examination-First Part from
six to eight subjects.
