PRACTISING CERTIFICATES,
1958-59.
Important
THE latest date for taking out practising certificates
in time was Wednesday, 5th February. Attention
is drawn to the provisions of Part V of the Solicitors
Act, 1954, with regard to the issuing of practising
certificates and the Sections 54 to 57 with regard
to the qualifications for acting as solicitor and the
consequences of practising without a certificate.
The form of declaration which must be made in
order to obtain a practising certificate may be
obtained by Dublin solicitors, or by country soli
citors through their Dublin agents, on application
to the Society's office. Neither the declaration nor
the certificate when issued can be sent by post.
