The Law Society Announces a New Joint Venture
with the Al l iance Francaise
The Law Society is delighted to
announce the introduction of a new
Diploma in Legal French
in association
with the Alliance Francaise Dublin -
the French Institute. The Diploma is a
practical qualification and will appeal
to all solicitors and apprentices who
wish to enhance their understanding of
the French legal system.
Many members of the profession are
aware of the opportunities offered by
increasing EU co-operation and a
considerable number of practices have
developed links with colleagues in
Belgium, France and Canada. The
benefits to be gained from increased
contact with our EU partners are
numerous and too often we hesitate
due to lack of knowledge of the legal
system or language.
One way to develop ones professional
knowledge in this area is by studying
for this new practical qualification. It is
envisaged that on completion of the
programme, successful participants will
be able to conduct business ably and
proficiently with French-speaking
lawyers and business people.
The
Diploma in Legal French
will be
taught by native French lawyers and
lecturers who have trained in Ireland
and France. The course will be certified
by the Paris Chamber of Commerce, a
prestigious body with world-wide
recognition. The main modules will
focus on the French legal system, Civil
Law and Commercial Law.
The course, which is organised by the
Law School's
Raphael
King,
is open to
both solicitors and apprentices who
have completed their Professional
Course and all participants will need to
demonstrate a high degree of fluency in
French prior to starting the programme.
Full details of the entry requirements
and admission assessments are set out
in the enclosed brochure.

The world's first virus to infect and
spread via data files has been
discovered in Ireland. Up to this, all
viruses had been spread by
programmes and it was completely
safe to swap documents. Users of
