Modification of Investment clauses on the Execution of Special Powers of Appointment.” June 29th.—“ Words Ejusdem

It is stressed, however, that the Law Society gives a much more adequate legal training to solicitors. In the University Law School it is said that the drive of law teaching is towards protecting the dead practices o f the past against the imperative needs of the present. Professors o f Law are said to be largely ignorant o f foreign experience and to suffer from complacency. Following our Law Society’s unanimous recommendation o f a few years ago, stressing the urgent need o f law reform in this country, it is hoped that these few examples will whet the appetites of members to read this most absorbing book, particularly as several measures o f law reform will, it is hoped, be introduced shortly.
