It is stressed, however, that the Law Society gives
a much more adequate legal training to solicitors.
In the University Law School it is said that the
drive of law teaching is towards protecting the
dead practices o f the past against the imperative
needs of the present. Professors o f Law are said to
be largely ignorant o f foreign experience and to
suffer from complacency.
Following our Law
Society’s unanimous recommendation o f a few
years ago, stressing the urgent need o f law reform
in this country, it is hoped that these few examples
will whet the appetites of members to read this
most absorbing book, particularly as several
measures o f law reform will, it is hoped, be
introduced shortly.
