a It is appropriate to record tha. the North and East Cork Bar Association has recently prepared and circulated to members a most informative and practical Newsletter.- The topics touched on in this Newsletter included the Malicious Injuries Act, 1981, the Courts Act, 1981, jury trials at Cork, the recent Land Registry Fees Or de r, fami ly t r ans f e r s, Practising Ce r t i f i ca t es, legal educa t i on, taxation matters, and the Southern Law Association. This November 1981 Newsletter, is intended to be the precursor of future periodical Newsletters. Apart f rom the topical, practical and local information that can be communicated by and to practitioners in this manner, it is clear that the effect of such a local newsletter will be to " b o n d " the members of the Bar Association more closely together, as it will make the Association more relevant, in the vocational sense - with the socially desirable annual Dinner Dance not necessarily being the high point of the year. The local solicitor with a concern (or "g r i pe ") about some aspect of his professional life would have a convenient means of letting his colleagues know. At present, unfortunately, attendance at ordinary meetings of bar associations - with some notable exceptions - tends to be limited to the ever enthusiastic and well motivated few. If matters of a vocational interest discussed at those meetings were regularly reported to all members by means of a Newsletter, the meetings would rapidly become of more interest and the numbers attending would grow. It is to be hoped that others may follow the example of the North and East Cork Bar Association. •
