problems arising from conflicts of
law and of
practice".
As you know, because I have already written to
you generally on this subject, the International
Bar Association is very anxious indeed to ensure
that it can give the maximum help to its Law
Society and Bar Association members and to the
profession in each country collectively and in
dividually in their problems.
The Committee which is considering the sub
ject mentioned above is concerned primarily to
see that at Conferences of the International Bar
Association we consider subjects which are of
practical interest and importance to the practising
lawyers of the world. They therefore would very
much like to know from your Association what
you think could be discussed with a view to
simplifying the work of the ordinary practising
lawyer. If I may give one or two examples of the
kind of subject which the Council have in mind,
I would mention the reciprocal enforcement of
kdgments, the proving of wills in foreign coun
tries and the problems arising from marriage and
divorce of foreign nationals.
Probably the majority of practising lawyers in
the course of their professional life are faced with
the position where they have to take some action
on behalf of a client in respect of a foreign
country and anything that can be done to simplify
their task in this respect the I.B.A. would like to
achieve.
Would you be kind enough to let us have your
thoughts on the subjects which we might well ex
plore sending your reply to Mr. W. A. Cook, the
President of The Law Society of Scotland at 105
West George Street, Glasgow, C.2., Scotland, who
has undertaken the task of analysing the replies
and preparing a report for the Council at their
next meeting in July, in conjunction with Mr.
John Carrigan, Chairman of the Committee on
Topics of the International Bar Association, of
Glengarriff, Thurles, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. If
at the same time you would be kind enough to
send a copy of your letter to Mr. G. J. McMahon,
the Secretary-General of the I.B.A. of 501 Fifth
Avenue, New York 10017
this would be most
helpful. All this
please
before the 1st May 1968.
Yours very truly,
Sir Thomas Lund
Treasurer,
The Law Society's Hall,
Chancery Lane,
London, W.C.2, England.
