very often did, to seek his invaluable advice. As I said some of you may be like this. If you are, you are blessed with good fortune. Others among you may not have the good fortune. To you, I say, (and mark you, this is merely a personal opinion) that it might be as well for you to try and gain some practical experience in some senior solicitor's office for a year or two as an assistant before trying to branch out on your own. No matter how good an apprenticeship you may have served you will not yet have the experience of dealing with the thousand and one minute details of practical work which only comes from time. Do not think I would try to discourage you from opening on your own at once if you feel that is what you want to do. If you have the confidence to do so I would only admire you for it. I would like to point out here that if you launch out on your own, never, never, be afraid to go to an older solicitor and seek advice on some snag in one of your cases. You will find that in this regard no profession is more closely knit and co-operative and as well as this the Secretary and Council of the Law Society are always available and ready to give advice and guidance whenever sought. You have received lectures on solicitors' accounts and the rights, duties and responsibility of solicitors. If you have absorbed them and taken the key points to your heart, you will be a credit to the profession and people worthy of the name of solicitor. It is a title you should be proud of. People to-day are looking up to us as leaders of men, honest, reliable and trustworthy citizens whose primary concern is the good of those who place their faith in us. One other piece of advice ; at the earliest possible moment join the Law Society and your local Bar Association and attend all the meetings that they hold and especially any talks or lectures on recent legislation or changes in the law. They will keep you up to date. It only remains for me to wish one and all every success,prosperity and happiness in your future lives.
