LAW CLERKS COURSE
COLLEGE OF COMMERCE RATHMINES
From 1981 to 1984 a one year course for law clerks has successfully been run at the College of Commerce
Rathmines. This course is organised jointly by the Law Society and the College of Commerce with the
teaching being done mainly by solicitors and some of the staff from the College of Commerce.
The subjects covered are:—
CONVEYANCING - CIVIL LITIGATION - COMPANY LAW and PROBATE
Lectures will probably be held two evenings a week, of which one may be a Friday.
The course, which aims to give the law clerk a basic knowledge of the subjects covered, is widely regarded as
being of real benefit to employer and employee alike. The employer benefits by the increased legal knowledge
of the clerk, the clerk by an increased interest arising from his or her greater knowledge and enhanced
prospects.
In seeking to plan ahead, the Society needs to know the likely future demand and in particular the numbers
seeking places in the academic year commencing in October 1985.
Solicitors are asked to bring this notice to the attention of their clerks. All enquiries about the course should be
made to Albert Power, Education Officer, The Law Society, Blackhall Place, Dublin 7.
