Frank Clarke SC
has been elected
Chairman of the Bar Council to
succeed
Peter Shanley SC.
He took
office on 1 September and has
previously held the positions of
Treasurer and Vice-Chairman of the
Bar.
A specialist in commercial and
constitutional law, Mr. Clarke was
called to the Bar in 1973 and took Silk
in 1985. He has acted for clients such
as Open Door Counselling in the
SPUC case, the NUJ in the European

"During my term of office I very much
hope to see improvements come about,
for the public and for barristers, in the
operation of both the Civil and
Criminal Legal Aid Schemes," he said.
"Courts structures and procedures
need immediate attention and I will be
urging most strongly for radical
change which can deliver a system
capable of dealing with future
requirements," he added.
