Practice Notes Solicitors' Accounts Regulations 1984 Statutory Instrument No. 204 of 1984 Notice is hereby given that the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland, in exercising powers, conferred on it by virtue and in pursuance of Sections 4, 5, 66 and 71 of the Solicitors Act 1954, and of every other power enabling it a'nd with the concurrence of the President of the High Court, has made an order entitled as above. Copies of the order may be purchased from the Government Publications Sale Office, Sun Alliance House, Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 or any bookseller, price £1.25, postage £0.35. The effect of the order is to revoke The Solicitors' Accounts Regulations 1967 as amended and to replace these Regulations with The Solicitors' Accounts Regulations 1984. The new Regulations will come into force on 1 January, 1985. Prior to that date a Practice Note, currently being agreed with the Institute of Chartered Accountants, will be circulated to members and their Accountants. • Technology Committee News The Slot Report The Committee would like to draw the attention of Practitioners to an interesting report which was issued in November, 1983, from Technology & Law Limited (formerly The National Law Library) in England. This report was based on the National Study of Lawyers and Office Technology (The SLOT Project) which it had conducted in association with Coopers & Lybrand (Associates) Limited. This survey concentrated mainly on small to medium sized solicitors firms (i.e. those between two and eight partners in the U.K.). It is the view of the Committee that this report would certainly be of interest to Practitioners in Ireland. It is very readable and adopts a very practical approach to all forms of Technology in the office including telephone systems, telex, word processors and accounting equipment and for its price is well worth having. The report is available from Rosemary Willson, Administrative Officer, Technology & Law Limited, Conference Secretariat, Jays Mead Road, Hindhead, Surrey GU26 6ST, England and orders should enclose a sterling draft for £25.00 (including P & P) made payable to Technology & Law Limited. Technology Exhibition The Committee is hoping to hold a Technology Exhibi- tion in Blackhall Place on the 12th/13th October and members will shortly be circulated with the programme being planned. Survey of Solicitors The Committee have received an excellent response to the recent Survey. The results are being carefully studied and are proving to be most helpful in guiding the Committee. •
