One Day Courses for Younger Solicitors
The cover photograph shows some of the Consultants
planning a series of one day courses to be run as from the
middle of September 1978. Most of these courses are
introductory in nature. It's likely, therefore, that they will
appeal more to solicitors in the earlier years of their
professional life and they should not be attended by
solicitors who have already developed an expertise in the
particular field. Many practioners have said, however,
that they have had no practical training in certain areas of
legal practice and that they would like to attend a course
which would not be too time consuming or too elaborate
in its content but which would impart basic knowledge in
that particular area and alert practitioners to the existence
of problems even if the solution of those problems would
be outside the scope of the course. Each course will have
its own objectives expressed in terms of what a person
attending the course will be able to do at the end of the
day. Thus, for example, in Company Law the objective
will be to ensure that the course attender will be able to
form a Private Limited Company having seen
demonstrations of and himself carried out exercises in the
key steps necessary in the formation of a Company and
having been provided with a check list of those steps.
Normally, each course will be restricted to 24
participants on a first come first served basis. These
courses are a contribution to the Society's Continuing
Legal Education programme and it is anticipated that
there will be a brisk demand for each of the one day
