APPRENTICES
IN THE DEFENCE
FORCES
THE following is the text of an Emergency Powers
Order which has, at the request of the Council,
been made by the Government to deal with the
position of apprentices who have been or may be
engaged in service in the Defence Forces while
under Indentures of Apprecticeship. The Council,
while willing to facilitate the admission as Solici
tors of apprentices who have served
in the
Defence Forces during the Emergency or who
may so serve in the future, is concerned to see
that the standard of education and legal training
of apprentices is maintained at a proper level.
The powers of the Council under the Order are
purely discretionary and each application will be
dealt with on its own merits. The Council has
power to grant applications under the Order
either unconditionally or subject to conditions.
Applicants for exemption under the Order will
be required to furnish evidence that the require
ments of service under their indentures have
been strictly complied with during such periods
as they may have been released from military
service.
There is no exemption from lectures
or examinations on
the ground of military
service. Further information on this matter may
be obtained from the Secretary.
