Lipstein: Law of the European Economic Community 1974. By K. Lipstein, Ph.D., Barrister, Professor of Com- parative Law and Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge. Assuming a basic knowledge of the Constitution and organisation of the three European Communities, Lip- stein presents a narrative statement of the substantive law of the EEC as embodied in the Treaty of Rome. The work demonstrates how in many instances the articles of the Treaty provide only a general legislative frame- work supplemented by subsequent regulations, direc- tives, decisions and other measures of the Community organs, and how the entire body of rules has been shaped and interpreted by the Community Court. £8.60 net (£9.05) 0 406 27200 X Pugh's Matrimonial Proceedings Before Magistrates 3rd Edition. 1974.

FREE LEGAL AID PANEL SET UP T h e Minister for Justice, Mr. Cooney, has announced the names of the people who will advise him on the intro- duction of a free legal aid system in civil matters. As expected, the chairman of the advisory committee is a Judge, Mr. Justice Denis Pringle, of the High Court. T h e Minister announced his intention of setting up the committee last J anua r y. He had been under considerable pressure to do so, particularly from F.L.A.C., the Free Legal Advice Centres, which threatened to close unless the Govern- ment promised to support free legal aid in civil matters. Th e re is already a limited form of legal aid in criminal matters. For 1973-74, £45,000 was allocated for this. T h e members of the committee are : Ch a i rma n, Mr. Justice Denis Pringle, Judge of the High Cou r t; Mr. Thomas G. Crotty, county registrar, Kilkenny; Mr. Brian M. Gallagher, solicitor (representing F.L.A.C.); Mr. Liam Hamilton, S.G.; Mr. James J. Ivers, director- general of the Incorporated Law Society; Mr. Eu n an E. H. McCa r r on, solicitor; Mr. To ny Brown, social and economic adviser to the Minister for Social Welfare; Mr. C. K. McGr a t h, Depa r tment of Finance; Mr. J. C. McMa h o n, Depa r tment of Public Service; and Mr. Pierce Rayel, Depa r tment of Justice.
