skills training in C.L.E. programmes;

3. In programme creation, the

major emphasis was on his

chairmanship of the Society's

Continuing Legal Education

Sub-Committee since its

creation in 1980 and again on

references to the Washington

Conference and the joint

programme in Dublin wi th

Minnesota C.L.E. on "Doing

Business in Ireland", which

followed from work done at that

Conference;

4. In administration, there was the

rich array of posts held by him

during membership of the

Council of the Law Society from

1973 to 1989 as well as his

Presidency of the Dublin

Solicitors' Bar Association and

his International Bar Associa-

tion posts.

The whole Irish legal community

will unite in congratulating John

Buckley on this well-merited award,

which also has the added benefit of

publicising the Irish legal com-

munity in a most positive way on

the international scene. In a

shrinking world, the beneficial

effects on our image abroad

stemming from the services of our

colleagues serving on or with

international bodies are perhaps

under-recognised. The timing of the

presentation also fortuitously

dovetails with the initiative of the

Society in commissioning a stand

at the ABA Conference in Atlanta

in August to promote, inter-

nationally, the availability in Ireland

and, via Ireland in the EEC, of the

services of the Irish solicitors'

profession.

THE GARDA SÍ0CHÁNA GUIDE

Sixth Edition

This new edition of the

Garda Síochána Guide,

running

to 1627 pages, updates the previous Fifth Edition

published in 1981, and incorporates all the relevant

legislation and caselaw of the last ten years.

The Sixth Edition has been compiled by the staff of the

Training and Research Branch at the Garda College,

Templemore, under the direction of a Garda Editorial

Board.

The

Guide

is arranged alphabetically by subject,

following the format of the previous editions.

While essential to the everyday work of the members

of An Garda Síochána, the

Guide

is an invaluable work

of reference for the legal profession, particularly for the

District Court practitioner.

Call to Photographers

"A photograph is not only an imaga (as a painting is an imaga), an interpretation of the

real, it is also a trace, something directly stencilled off the real, like a footprint or a death

mask".

Susan Sontag

Readers are requested to send (old or new) photographs of lawyers and photographs (old and new) of scenes

associated with lawyers which will be considered for publication in the

Gazette.

From time to time, a

photograph is also required for the front cover.

Readers will appreciate that not all photographs, negatives, etc are capable of being reproduced satisfactorily

on the

Gazette

paper. Accordingly, it may not be possible to reproduce all photographs submitted. Photographs

must be clear, of an appropriate quality, and should be accompanied by a description of the persons or the

scene (Courthouse, etc.) the subject matter of the photograph. All photographs, negatives, etc will be returned

to the owners.
