of

Morgan

and that the rules of

evidence governing the plea are unclear.

The author points out that the

Dwyer

approach was adopted, and later

rejected as unworkable, by the English

and Australian courts. The article

therefore combines a comprehensive

statement of the present law with a well

argued appeal for reform.

The Journal has already established an

impressive record, much of which can

no doubt be attributed to the industry of

its editor. Irish criminal law is under-

going important changes at present. A

new reforming zeal has gripped those

entrusted with the task of revising and

updating legislation in this field. There

are no signs that the ever increasing

volume of judgments handed down by

our superior courts on criminal law and

practice is abating. Accordingly, there is

much work to be done by the Journal in

meeting the demands of this change. Its

future looks secure.

* SPEC IAL NON-MEDICAL OFFER *

Solicitors Financial Services is pleased to announce an exclusive Permanent Health/Income Protection Scheme for

solicitors.

This scheme will provide cover up to £15,000 per annum for members under the age of 55 who are in a position to

sign a simple declaration of health.

The deferred period is 13 weeks, with cover continuing to age 65.

There is also provision for the benefit to escalate by 5% annually for the duration of a claim.

Normally, medical underwriting for Permanent Health Insurance is very strict and, therefore, this offer will provide

members with a unique opportunity to either top up their existing level of cover or initiate some form of protection.

Any member of the profession who is interested should contact:
