t o u c h

It is appropriate to record tha. the North

and East Cork Bar Association has recently

prepared and circulated to members a most

informative and practical Newsletter.- The

topics touched on in this Newsletter included

the Malicious Injuries Act, 1981, the Courts

Act, 1981, jury trials at Cork, the recent Land

Registry Fees Or de r, fami ly t r ans f e r s,

Practising Ce r t i f i ca t es, legal educa t i on,

taxation matters, and the Southern Law

Association. This November 1981 Newsletter,

is intended to be the precursor of future

periodical Newsletters.

Apart f rom the topical, practical and local

information that can be communicated by and

to practitioners in this manner, it is clear that

the effect of such a local newsletter will be to

" b o n d " the members of the Bar Association

more closely together, as it will make the

Association more relevant, in the vocational

sense - with the socially desirable annual

Dinner Dance not necessarily being the high

point of the year. The local solicitor with a

concern (or "g r i pe ") about some aspect of his

professional life would have a convenient

means of letting his colleagues know. At

present, unfortunately, attendance at ordinary

meetings of bar associations - with some

notable exceptions - tends to be limited to the

ever enthusiastic and well motivated few. If

matters of a vocational interest discussed at

those meetings were regularly reported to all

members by means of a Newsletter, the

meetings would rapidly become of more

interest and the numbers attending would

grow.

It is to be hoped that others may follow the

example of the North and East Cork Bar

Association.
