then the number of persons entering into inden
tures of apprenticeship has shown a sharp increase.
In recent years it has risen from about thirty-five

A memorandum entitled "The Professional
Work of a Solicitor" has been supplied by the
Society to the Department of Labour and will
be circulated to all schools later this year.
Yours faithfully,

SOLICITORS
The current edition of the Members' Handbook
lays down the current practice and interpretation
by the Council of Clause 5 of the Solicitors Act,
1954 (Professional Practice, Conduct and Discip
line), Regulations 1955, in its application to
publications by solicitors and in particular to radio
and television broadcasts. The Council on a report
from a committee have recently reviewed this
matter and having regard to present day conditions
and the climate of professional opinion and the
practice of other professional bodies they have
decided to adopt a more liberal interpretation. It
is emphasised that the well-established prohibition
against any activity on the part of a solicitor for
the purpose of self-advertisement and the attraction
of business is unaltered. There are, however, cases
in which it is in the interests of the profession, and
indeed in the public interest, that solicitors who
are specially competent to discuss matters of legal
and public interest should not be unduly restricted.
It is hoped to circulate shortly an amendment to
the current ruling DR 34 printed at page 248
of the Members' Handbook. This ruling should
be interleaved in the Handbook.
