Younger Members News

Young Members for Europe With Europe rushing to meet us in 1992, the Younger Members Com- mittee (YMC) have decided to go some of the way towards meeting some of our colleagues in the other cities of Europe. The equivalent organisations, such as the Young Paris Bar (see separate advert), in other European Countries are hav- ing their annual con f e r ences throughout the coming year. It has been proposed that a member of the Younger Members Committee and any other younger member should travel to the various conferences in order to get to know some of our fellow European col- leagues. Out of funds provided by the Law Society, the YMC will make a contribution towards the traveller's costs. If you are inter- ested in availing of this opportunity please write to the Chairman of the YMC, c/o The Law Soc i e t y, applying to be considered for a specific conference according to the list below. The selection of " A Younger Membe r" to travel to a particular European conference will be based on the following criteria:- 1. A knowledge of the language of the State sponsoring the con- ference would be a definite advantage. Please state the level of your proficiency in t hat language. 2. Evidence of previous involvement w i th European organisations and any present involvement in same. 3. Please state the reason why you wish to avail of the opportunity t o travel t o t he pa r t i cu l ar conference. 4. Please submit your ideas on the issues you feel the YMC should deal w i th at these conferences or otherwise. 5. Please also remember that you will be required to do a report on the conference upon your return. People who have not previously involved t hemse l ves in either Younger Member activities or European Oriented activities are especially invited to submit their names for travel to one of the conferences.

Anybody interested in travelling should write to Sandra Fisher, Media Officer, The Law Society, Blackhall Place, Dublin 7, before Friday 19th April 1991. Joseph Kelly, YMC Younger Members Committee Committee Meetings 1991 Other Events 1. Thursday, 17th January
