FOREIGN LAWYERS The Society from time to time receives inquiries from overseas lawyers — most frequently from the United States of America —as to employment opportunities in Ireland. The term of employment usually ranges between six months and two years. It is desirable that lawyers from abroad should have the opportunity of experiencing legal practice in Ireland and acquainting themselves with the Irish legal system. In return, practitioners who take such lawyers into their offices are likely to benefit from the knowledge of foreign law and the expertise which such lawyers would bring with them. Salaries are negotiable. Practitioners who would be interested in having a foreign lawyer in their office for a limited period are asked to write to the undersigned who will put them in contact with the foreign lawyers involved. It is understood that any practitioner stating a willingness to partake in the arrangement does not commit himself or herself to taking a particular lawyer at a particular time. Professor Richard Woulfe, Director of Education, Incorporated Law Society of Ireland, Blackhall PLace, Dublin 7. 17th December, 1979.
