Reaction to the seminars "Meeting

t he Cha l l enge of

C h a n g e"

presented by John Loosemore and

Robert Parsons, under the auspices

of the Public Relations Committee

has been gratifying. The following

are excerpts from some of the

letters at Blackhall Place.

"Congratulations to you and to the

Law Society for providing the

'Challenge of Change' Seminar at

Kilkenny.

It was excellent, repeat excellent,

and hit the spot. Sincere thanks

and kind regards."

Nolan Farre/I & Goff,

Wa terford.

"There can be no doubt that the

problems and ills of practices large

and small were identified by the

Lecturers. It is now a question of

adapting their experience to the

climate and conditions prevailing in

each individual practice. While the

Lecture was beneficial, its benefit

will be lost unless it is followed up

by the Law Society at local levels."

Collins Brooks & Associates,

Clonaki/ty.

" I thought I should just let you

know how useful I thought it was

and the extent to which I feel it

should give ideas to members of

the profession.

Messrs. Loosemore & Parsons

are undoubtedly good salesmen

and their presentation was both

lucid and entertaining. Initially I

found myself recoiling from an

approach which I regarded as more

akin to the selling of encyclo-

paedias. Soon however I began to

appreciate what these gentleman

were saying and I found the

conference both interesting and

stimulating."

M. T. Beresford,

A. & L. Goodbody,

Dublin 2.

" I found it extremely interesting

and helpful. . . Like everybody else

I picked up certain tips thereat. The

main theme that came across

however was good marketing and

public relations w i th one's present

client and w i th casual clients

including those who telephone for

costs. I was particularly delighted

at the manner in which telephone

quotes for costs were dealt with as

this is a problem that all of us come

across all the time.

All in all, I think it was money

well spent by the Law Society on

our behalf and for the first year ever

I feel that the monies which I paid

to the Law Society in January last

in the sum of approximately £500

was money well spent."

Jennifer Foley,

Ennis.

" F o u r t e en of our pe r sonnel

attended the Limerick seminar on

Wednesday of last week, and I have

allowed time to elapse before

writing to you in order to gauge the

reaction both from within our office

and also among colleagues whom

I met at different courts in the

locality . . . I am therefore very

pleased to recount that my feelings

and initial reactions have been

echoed by all concerned, and I feel

the Society is owed a considerable

debt of thanks and gratitude for

financing this very worthwhile

exercise for the profession in this

country . . . It is my distinct feeling

that the considerable moneys

expended by the Society will be

recouped in savings through the

Compensation Fund in due course."

Michael P. Houlihan,

Ignatius M. Houlihan & Son,

Ennis.

" T h e Seminar has led to an

ongoing discussion and we hope to

i n t r odu ce as many ideas as

possible over the coming months."

Leahy & O'Sullivan,

Limerick.

" The legal profession in general

has been conse r va t i ve in its

approach to marketing its services

and I am absolutely convinced that

a more asse r t i ve ma r k e t i ng

approach is necessary . . . our

training is geared to making us

competent in the knowledge of the

legal system but there is a lot to be

desired in our t r a i n i ng

in

management of a legal practice.

Bar Associations should play a

more assertive role at local level in

communicating to the public as a

priority rather than communicating

between the local Bar Associations

and the Law Society."

James Dennison,

Abbey feale.
