President's Diary of Events

Correspondence The Secretary,

2 February 1981

Incorporated Law Society of Ireland Dear Sir, Greetings from Trumbull County, Ohio, from myself and my family to all of my colleagues in Ireland. The purpose of this letter is to enable me to make contact with and subsequently correspond with one or more lawyers of my approximate age group in Ireland so that we may learn more effectively as much about Ireland, Irish society, Irish history, Irish people and the Irish way of life as possible. As you can probably tell by my name, I am descended from Irish people (and nothing but Irish people). I am enclosing a resume to give a little personal back- ground on myself. If it is possible, I would request that you turn this letter over to one or more of your members who might be in my general age group (I am thirty-six years old) so that I may be able to correspond with one or more of your members and their families. If we are successful in setting up effec- tive correspondence between my family and that of one or more of your members, it could lead to an exchange of visits to our respective countries and homes and other joint activities of mutual interest and benefit. Also, I am interested in learning about the Irish legal system as it compares to our legal system in the United States and especially in Ohio. It is also my hope to travel to Ireland within the next two years. Yours sincerely, PATRICK J . DONLIN Attorney at Law I am writing to inquire as to whether you can assist me in arranging for a meeting with Irish lawyers on a trip that we are planning to Ireland on or about 28 June 1981. I am an attorney practising in the state of New Jersey in the United States with a general practice. While the trip to Ireland is primarily a vacation, I anticipate being in Dublin with my wife for a day or two during which time 1 would look forward to the opportunity of meeting with Irish lawyers who may be specifically involved with the criminal justice system and perhaps even observing one of your Court proceedings. My practice consists of general practice, including litigation and criminal law, as well as estate and corporate practice. If you are able to put us in touch with persons who might be of assistance to us, we would appreciate the same. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Very truly yours, TIMOTHY J . DUNN, II Attorney at Law 3 17 Harrington Avenue Closter, N.J. 07524 U.S.A. 244 Seneca Ave. N.E. Warren Ohio 44481 The Secretary, 9 February 1981 Incorporated Law Society of Ireland. Dear Sir,
