FACSIMILE
The Law Library is considering the instal-
lation of facsimile equipment. We would be
interested to know how many Solicitors use
such equipment at present, and if the
installation of facsimile equipment in the
Law Library would be considered of
benefit.

BOOK REVIEW
Index to Irish Superior Court written Judgment 1976-1982
published by Irish Association of Law Teachers, pp. 160
IR£10.00.
The Irish Association of Law Teachers has produced
an excellent soft cover A4 sized book of 160 pages
covering all written Judgments of the Superior Courts in
the Republic of Ireland from January 1976 to December
1982, inclusive. The book is in two parts, the first being an
alphabetical index of all the cases giving details of the
basic subject matter, the Court, date of Judgment and
reference in the second part of the book which consists of
a subject matter index. This latter part of the book
consolidates all the entries in the pink pages as published
in the
Gazette.
This consolidation of the pink pages is very
useful to practitioners and the combination of the two
indices will save much time and effort in seeking basic
information about cases.
While the case summaries in the subject matter index
are those used in the original pink pages even the best
organised Solicitor who has kept his pink pages carefully
and chronologically will find this consolidation extremely
useful. The subject matter index also consolidates the
supplemental index prepared by Anthony Kerr and
published by the Incorporated Law Society with the
Gazette.
There are approximately a thousand cases
covered in the book and at a price of IR£ 10.00 is excellent
value. It is immensely useful to be able to find all leading
cases on the one subject listed together.
This book has been compiled by Jennefer Aston, Sub-
Librarian of the Four Courts Law Library with assistance
from Maeve Doyle, Sub-Librarian, U.C.G., under the
supervision of the Publications Sub-Committee of the
Irish Association of Law Teachers and also with the co-
operation of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting
for Ireland.
The book is available through the publications Sub-
Committee of the Irish Association of Law Teachers
Faculty of Law U.C.G. I am not aware if the book is
available elsewhere. Those writing to U.C.G. for copies of
the book should note that postage and packing is £1.50
extra per copy.
