Technology Committee News
The Slot Report
The Committee would like to draw the attention of
Practitioners to an interesting report which was issued in
November, 1983, from Technology & Law Limited
(formerly The National Law Library) in England. This
report was based on the National Study of Lawyers and
Office Technology (The SLOT Project) which it had
conducted in association with Coopers & Lybrand
(Associates) Limited. This survey concentrated mainly
on small to medium sized solicitors firms (i.e. those
between two and eight partners in the U.K.). It is the view
of the Committee that this report would certainly be of
interest to Practitioners in Ireland. It is very readable and
adopts a very practical approach to all forms of
Technology in the office including telephone systems,
telex, word processors and accounting equipment and for
its price is well worth having. The report is available from
Rosemary Willson, Administrative Officer, Technology
& Law Limited, Conference Secretariat, Jays Mead
Road, Hindhead, Surrey GU26 6ST, England and orders
should enclose a sterling draft for £25.00 (including P &
P) made payable to Technology & Law Limited.
Technology Exhibition
The Committee is hoping to hold a Technology Exhibi-
tion in Blackhall Place on the 12th/13th October and
members will shortly be circulated with the programme
being planned.
Survey of Solicitors
The Committee have received an excellent response to
the recent Survey. The results are being carefully studied
and are proving to be most helpful in guiding the
Committee.
