unless they can show special circumstances within the meaning of the Rule—By order.” A. B. B abington , Hon. Secretary. Order LXV .

Examples of entries which in the view o f the Council are objectionable are those which include non-legal appointments, the name of any particular client for whom the solicitor acts, types of legal work which the solicitor is prepared to undertake, such as conveyancing or advocacy, or the statement “ Practising in Local Courts ” or the inclusion of the names of firms for whom a solicitor acts as professional agent. In the opinion of the Council, entries should be confined to the name and address of the solicitor or firm together with the names of the individual partners with their legal appointments, and such postal information as may be necessary.
