Young solicitors were, as is customary, advised to join organisations such as the Free Legal Aid Centres to help people in less fortunate circumstances than themselves, as well as the Law Society, the Solicitors' Benevolent Association, and their local Bar Association. While much remains to be done in the matter of legal aid for poor people in Ireland, he said, a start had been made on a voluntary basis in Dublin. He also recommended new members of the pro- fession to join the staff of an established office rather than set up on their own. In this way they would acquire a knowledge of handling routine work and the "know how" of getting along with clients and collea- gues. Mr. O'Connor, stressing the need to continue the study of Law, said that to keep abreast of the pace of output of all present-day legislation might at times seem an insuperable task, particularly now that Euro- pean Community Law had become part of Irish Law.
